The Road to Justice

The Road to Justice follows two groups on a civil rights tour through the American South as they reckon with our painful legacy of racial injustice. The first, a group of predominantly Black middle school students from Chicago: and the second, a group of older Americans who lived through the 1960s Civil Rights era. They come face-to-face with the leaders and everyday heroes whose courage and perseverance paved the way for future generations. View the trailer here.
