This Social Concerns Seminar is an examination of the American Civil Rights movement with an eye to our mutual responsibility to pursue racial justice today. In light of the US bishops' pastoral letter on racism, Open Wide Our Hearts, the Act Justly seminar will invite course participants to reflect deeply on the historical struggle for racial justice in the United States, and seek to enact a deeper personal and social justice. Participants will read deeply from writers across the span of American history, engage in weekly class sessions, and journey together on a Spring Break immersion tracing key moments of the Civil Rights movement throughout the American South.
Immersion Dates: March 5-12, 2022
