This year's trip will take place from February 19-22, 2009.
Sankofa brings together readings, films, class lectures, and conversations with a pilgrimage to major Civil Rights sites in the southern part of the U.S. focusing on black/white relations. We explore the biblical, theological, sociological, political, cultural, and psychological dimensions of the struggle for racial justice during the Civil Rights era and its contemporary implications. We also seek to provide experiences that lead to personal transformation on the difficult questions of race and justice. Sankofa can also be taken as a two-credit class (AS-2540) during the Spring semester pending successful completion of an application and interview process.
The cost of this year's trip is $75 per person, with limited scholarship money available.
Applications for this year's trip are now closed.
