Experience the Mobile Museum of Tolerance: Civil Rights
The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles has built a museum that travels. Its Mobile Museums are buses fitted with interactive technology and turned into classrooms, now part of a national fleet visiting communities across the country. On board, trained educators lead free workshops on histories of intolerance, from the Holocaust to the Civil Rights Movement, and on the choices people make in the face of hate.
The young activists of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) organized, protested, and wrote poetry. This workshop reads that poetry as an act of resistance against generations of racial oppression, and as a record of what young people can do when they decide history needs to change.
