Civil Rights are one of three components of the AQA A-Level History syllabus. Civil Rights in the USA, though a national problem, had a regional dimension.

This trip aims to take the students to the centre of American struggle in the US South to visit key sights on what the Americans call ‘The Freedom Trail.’
