Jewish teens from the Baltimore Jewish Council’s Social Justice Fellowship and Black teens from the Elijah Cummings Youth Program (ECYP) recently traveled to the South on a Civil Rights Mission.
The group toured iconic sites, such as the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and walked across the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma. They heard firsthand accounts from participants in the Civil Rights Movement, including Sarah Collins Rudolph, who survived the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.
Social Justice Fellowship teen, Sunny Diamond, and ECYP teen, Symera Hawkins reflect on the trip.
