For the past eight years, Stetson University College of Law students participating in Professor Robert Bickel\u2019s Constitutional Law and the Civil Rights Movement course<\/a> have had an opportunity to visit the historic sites and history-makers who shaped the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.<\/p>\n

\"Professor<\/a>
Professor Robert Bickel and class met this summer at the site of the new Civil Rights brick pathway on Stetson’s Gulfport campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Students journey to Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee to meet with still-living veterans of the Civil Rights Movement, which challenged racial segregation throughout the south and brought about the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Civil Rights Movement veteran we visited emphasized that our generation is responsible for the future meaning of their efforts during the civil rights struggle,\u201d said Stetson University undergraduate student Alicja Duda, a member of Stetson\u2019s Social Justice Lecture Series Committee. \u201cJust as they fought for a more just world for our generation, so we are called to make our own contribution to a more just world, now, and for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days before heading out on this year\u2019s travel course, students paused to place a brick on a new Civil Rights pathway on Stetson\u2019s Gulfport campus. The brick path commemorates the Civil Rights Movement veterans whom students have met and learned from during the travel course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the travel course, we speak to the people who bore witness both to the great injustice and the great awakening of American society,\u201d said alumna Maria Bogomaz JD \u201912. \u201cExperiencing this history helped me develop a personal relationship with social justice law that dictates every aspect of my career on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis experience has renewed in me a sense of direction and a confirmation of my ultimate purpose,\u201d said alumna Traci Blake BA \u201906, JD \u201912.<\/p>\n
