Throughout our national history, Americans have been brought together by words, actions, music, and art to build movements that bring about social change. Campers explore the rich and complex history of the Civil Rights movement as they discover the cultural expressions and political activism rooted in this pivotal era. They examine artifacts in the collection of the African American History and Culture Museum and visit exhibits at the American History Museum, including the actual Woolworth’s lunch counter from Greensboro, North Carolina, that was the site of a 1960 sit-in. They learn songs and create works sparked by their study of the people and events of period, and inspired and empowered by their new knowledge, present a Friday performance for family and friends.
