Dr. Dennis Simon Civil Rights Pilgrimage

Each spring, students, faculty, and staff from SMU journey together for an experiential learning tour centered on the American Civil Rights Movement. While visiting historic sites, engaging with those who participated in the Movement, and touring museums that interpret lessons of non-violent social activism, Pilgrims are inspired and equipped as advocates for justice.
