In American history, the civil rights movement is a pivotal cornerstone that has ushered in community leaders nationwide. In Alabama, Joanne Bland found her place in the civil rights movement alongside figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the bridge in Selma going to Montgomery.
Now Y-COP and the First United Methodist Church have worked together to host a space where today’s kids can learn from this movement to build a brighter future. You can also join in this moment by viewing the link below.
