Spider athletes document their trip to historic civil rights sites
Student Experience
Five spider student-athletes used their fall break last year to tour key civil rights sites throughout Georgia and Alabama. The trip, part of the Athletics Department’s Civic Engagement and Co-Curricular Programming, began in Atlanta and included stops in Tuskegee, Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham, Alabama.
The student-athletes participated in educational tours, met with speakers, and blogged and captured video of the experience. Read more about their travels to historic civil rights sites:
Student-athletes Logan Anderson (soccer), Maddy Sesay (lacrosse), Quentin Southall (basketball), and Jason Nelson (basketball) were joined by Courtney Hughes, assistant athletic director for co-curricular initiatives, and Bruce Matthews, associate athletic director for academic services, on the journey.
