Civil Rights/ASB trips

Greetings all.  I have a question and a posting.
Involved question:  Next year Baldwin-Wallace College (Ohio) will be sending 
students on an 8 week, curriculum based program called "Freedom Road"  which 
is an exploration of the Civil Rights Movement.  30 students will travel to 
D.C., Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia,  Loisiana,  Mississippi, Alabama,  
North Carolina,  Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia.  I'm looking for 
sites/agencies that the students should/must visit in these states that are 
closely tied to the civil rights theme.  Ideally, they would also have the 
option to participate in a meaningful service activity at these sites.  Any 
suggestions?  Have any of you done a trip like this?

Posting: Many of you e-mailed me and asked that I send out the responses 
regarding setting up new Alternative Spring Breaks.  Some of you suggested 
that a good way to find other ASB sites are:

www.volunteermatch.com

The "Response" Book - published through Catholic Network of Volunteer 
Service
#800-543-5046

The "Connections"  Book - published through St. Vincent Pallotti  
#877-865-5465

seek help from Habitat at 1-800-HABITAT

check out ProPeru webpage at: http://pages.prodigynet/rawebb1/

I've alse found it to be useful to connect with local churches.

Thanks,
Meg Houghton
