YOUNGSTOWN — Six city high school students who went on a historical trip to Southern focal points of the 1950s and 1960s civil-rights movement came home vowing to be active agents for change and to give back to their community.
True to their word, the group already is planning a voter registration drive, the type of activity that figured heavily in the battle for civil rights in this country.
Giving back to your community after completing the 10-day trip is a key message of “Sojourn to the Past,” an educational journey for high school students that takes them to historic civil-rights sites and allows them to meet some of the people who played major roles in the movement.
