Matanzas High School teacher Anthony Zaksewicz and his African-American History class will be going on a civil rights walking tour in St. Augustine, thanks to a grant from the American Battlefield Trust’s History Field Trip Grant Program.
Grants are awarded based on a competitive national application process. The field trip will provide students with a hands-on opportunity to learn about local history as it relates to the civil rights movement, connecting local events to national advancements in civil rights. The tour will be guided by a woman who experienced these events as a teenager, according to a press release.
The American Battlefield Trust is the largest battlefield land preservation organization in the country, having saved more than 58,000 acres of hallowed ground across 24 states, according to the press release.
