At the Sunflower County Freedom Project, we believe that education should broaden students' horizons, connecting them to the world beyond their surroundings.  Children learn best when they can explore places and see things for themselves.  Our field trips expand upon the themes of history and technology that we emphasize in the classroom.  On the nine-day Freedom Tour this summer, students visited:

• Civil rights sites in Memphis, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham, and Atlanta
• Science and technology museums in New Orleans, Bay St. Louis, and Atlanta
• Recreational areas in Biloxi, New Orleans, and Atlanta
