Over 100 Omaha students are headed south to learn more about black history.For the second year in a row, the Black Votes Matter Tour will visit several iconic sites that were pivotal during the Civil Rights Movement. Tour organizers say they've doubled the amount of students attending the trip within a year. “We’ll be going to the Lorraine Motel, which is now the National Civil Rights Musuem, where King was assassinated,” said organizer Preston Love. “This trip will be life changing for each student, it has an emotional impact on these kids.”The trip was free of charge for all participants, students are chosen from nominations made by various organizations who service youth in Omaha. 17-year old Ayriel Brown-Love was selected by Girls Inc. to take part in the trip“To actually go down and see where black history originated in the United States is pretty cool,” said Ayriel.The high school senior also says she likes that students of all color are given the opportunity to participate. “What I like most is the diversity,” said Ayriel. “It’s not just for African-Americans in the community, its for everybody and that’s good because they need to learn about it too.” Preston says students like Ayriel will return to Omaha as change-makers. “These kids are going to come back as future leaders if not leaders immediately,” said Preston. “They’re going to come back transformed, and advocates for voting. We're going to try to keep them right here to be leaders in our own city.”To learn more about the civil rights tour, click here.
