Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Operation Understanding DC not only provided me with the opportunity to learn about John Lewis, Medgar Evers, Hosea Williams, and many other often unmentioned grassroots leaders of the Civil Rights Movement through academic research and information, but also allowed me to learn more about the Movement by visiting the historic cites and seeing them first-hand. Walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with my OUDC classmates was an unforgettable emotional experience for me and was the closest I had felt to any aspect of the Civil Rights Movement in my entire life.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

OUDC made me more aware of the many civil rights violations and injustices of the past and present, but has also provided me with a chance to work with 30 people from completely dif. backgrounds working towards the same goal, to eliminate discrimination.
