Experiencing Interruptions?

Journey Towards Justice

"Journey Toward Justice" is an evocative documentary that immerses viewers in the transformative experiences of students, faculty, and staff as they participate in a Maymester course exploring the Civil Rights Movement. In light of recent legislation restricting teaching around DEI, the film illustrates the critical importance of preserving opportunities to learn this history. It delves into the historical, social, and psychological dimensions of the movement, highlighting deep connections between past struggles and present-day issues such as voter rights, the legacy of slavery, mass incarceration, and the ongoing fight against inequality. Through a dynamic blend of interactive interviews, historical footage, and present-day reflections, "Journey Toward Justice" reveals the enduring impact of the movement on contemporary society.
