SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The Pac-12 announced today that 46 student-athletes, coaches, administrators, conference staff, and other key stakeholders from across the Conference’s 12 world-class institutions will be part of a delegation traveling to Selma and Montgomery, Alabama. The experience is set to take place from July 15-17 and include an immersive journey to one of the centers of the civil rights movement. The group will participate in a variety of activities highlighted by a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” attacks.
“The Pac-12 is committed to developing meaningful educational opportunities for our student-athletes, including in the critically-important area of social justice,” said Pac-12 Deputy Commissioner Teresa Gould. “The trip to Selma & Montgomery will provide an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the civil rights movement, and to use the positive impact of those learnings to build a better society for all.”
