CIVIL RIGHTS LEGACY TOUR

For more than 10 years, Tacoma Arts Live has presented original touring productions that honor the legacy of civil rights leaders and encourage civic responsibility among young learners. These touring shows have reached over 150,000 youth at schools throughout Pierce, King, South Kitsap, and Thurston Counties. This series of theatrical works explore the on-going story of civil rights through the experiences of diverse Americans, such as the stories of Martin Luther King Jr and Ruby Bridges, immigration rights, and Japanese American internment during WWII. Bringing to life both history and civics concepts, each play is accompanied by study guides for K-12 students. All productions fulfill the requirements for the January Good Citizen/Temperance recognition.
