Please remember to attend the Civil Rights Tour (required of all grants students, cost covered by scholarship) Saturday, February 12. We will depart Huntsville at 8:30 a.m. (we'll meet at a centralized location, based on who's coming) and return at approximately 4:30 p.m. The day will start with a tour of the 16th Street Baptist Church, site of a KKK bombing that killed 4 black girls in September, 1963, during the peak of the Civil Rights movement. Next, we'll have lunch at Mrs. B's, a nearby restaurant specializing in soul food, and after lunch, we'll visit the Civil Rights Institute, a museum focusing on the Civil Rights movement in Alabama. The combined cost for admissions will be $8 for students and $17 for adults. Jim has reserved a 15 passenger van which the scholarships will pay for so there's no extra cost for that. Lunch should be under $10 per person. (Again, all costs are covered for grants students).
