Get on the Bus! follows a 2022 civil rights journey through the American South. Local K-12 students, community members, and Washington College students and alumni joined together in an envoy to deliver historic materials from Chestertown, Maryland, to the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, where they will be permanently housed. Along the way, participants visited the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, walked over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Montgomery, and toured Martin Luther King's Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Capturing the group's daily reflections and conversations, the documentary reveals a community working together to develop both a deeper understanding of the past and a collective response to present day racial injustices.
Sponsored by Sumner Hall, Minary's Dream Alliance, and the Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience.
