SELMA, Ala. (WAKA) – Students are getting lessons during Black History Month thanks to an educational tour right in the heart of where the Voting Rights movement began, Selma.
The Selma Heritage Field Trip Tour helps students better understand the role the city of Selma played in shaping our nation.
The tour involves students visiting some of the city’s museums and historic sites from the voting rights movement.
About 60 third-graders from Chisholm Elementary School in Montgomery took the field trip tour Thursday morning.
“We done been so many places, we done learned so many things. This is my first time knowing about Black History,” said Joshua Threlkeld, a student at Montgomery’s Chisholm Elementary Schoo.
The tour is sponsored each year during Black History month by the mayor of Selma and the city council.
