For the 2021 spring semester, the Women's Leadership Council took a virtual tour of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Mentors and mentees explored the exhibits, which showcased the instrumental events and activists during the Civil Rights Movement in America, and connected the era to the Black Lives Matter Movement. The tour included Freedom Rides, Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), sit-in movement, Fannie Lou Hamer, Black Panther Party, and more. The council viewed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s room in the Lorraine Motel, where he was assassinated on April 4, 1968. At the end of the tour, the women reflected on the accomplishments of the Civil Rights Movement and the next steps that need to be taken to achieve equality and freedom.
