Civil Rights Stories

This three-part documentary series expands the traditional civil rights narrative by offering learners an intimate, testimony-driven exploration of global and domestic fights for justice through the stories of three pivotal figures. By examining the devastating reality of nuclear war through Hiroshima survivor Tomiko Morimoto West, the moral leadership of Congressman John Lewis during his final march in Selma, and the intersectional grassroots organizing of labor leader Dolores Huerta, students gain actionable insights into human resilience and effective activism. Ultimately, the courses provide a powerful historical framework and practical blueprints for maintaining faith, resisting silence, and fighting for economic and social equality.
