"Ordinary people can do extraordinary things."

Over the last few days, MCCE has traversed across Birmingham, Alabama with Michigan educators as we consider the intersections of the civil rights movement and citizenship. We've been joined by Dr. Danielle Leek, Hon. Lindsey Draper, and former Jefferson County Treasurer Mike Miles as they've shared their own stories and expertise on citizenship, activism and how religion & community have impacted many of the most historic events we study today.

We have so many more pictures and media to share from our first few days in Alabama but here is a glimpse.

Today, dozens of educators have gathered for our Juneteenth Kick-Off dinner as we prepare to journey to Alabama together for our Civil Rights & Citizenship Journey with a wonderful We the People Cohort. Thank you to the iconic Barbara Mason for being our keynote speaker and discussing her own experiences with segregation, civil identity and activism.

Follow our nine-day pilgrimage!

In just over 7 months, MCCE has expanded to include more than just staff members and program leaders. Our staff is overflowing with constitutional curiosity, educator experience, operational excellence, and true hearts for service. We live all over Michigan, and wander near and far across the state to do what we do best - prepare youth to engage in the practice of democracy through robust civic and law-related education.
