• Comments from youth participants:

“I learned that people fought for things they deserved, including women.”

“I learned a lot of things—like MLK’s dream did come true—we were an example that his dream did come true—we were African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic— a lot of us mixed— he didn’t lose his life in vain.”

“I was fortunate they chose me. It’s not every day someone asks if you want to go to Tennessee. I feel everything happens for a reason. I believe in faith, spirits, all that type of stuff.”

“ I like history so the MLK and Holocaust Museums were more fun than Universal Studios. We need to learn about the things people did for us.”

“People say we have it bad, but you see how people were treated a long time ago. They had it worse.”

“I loved the Stax Museum. I love music so to really see where today’s music came from was mind blowing.”

“It gave me more insight on my culture and that different cultures do intertwine. I was simple-minded before the trip, now I’m open-minded.”

“I feel like I was put on Earth to do something now, before I thought selling dope on streets, now my purpose is much greater than just negativity.”

“Everything I learned I will bring along with me and it will make all my life experiences better.”
