A huge thank you to all who helped make this incredible trip possible. It could not have been more inspirational - every day there was something new to take in and learn. I have always been fond of history, but sometimes when you go to a museum (and spend hours inside) you are ready for a break. However, that was not the case with the museums we went to on this trip. These museums not only made me think about what transpired in the past but also left me wanting to learn even more than I just had.
Throughout Memphis I continued to think about how best to move on and make the future better than the past. The Civil Rights Movement truly is an incredibly heartfelt piece of American history, that schools do not always do justice. The city of Memphis is full of civil rights history, and visitors truly feel the blood, sweat, and tears that brought us to where we are today, as well as inspire us to continue to work for improvement, as it still is a work in progress.
Once again, thank you to all who made this possible! It was a trip I will never forget!
