Teens On A
Civil Rights
Journey
BY LORI ROSE &
AJ BARBOSA
TWO YEARS AGO when she was a
sophomore, Katie Ribant decided
to take a new summer class at
Webster Groves High School in St.
Louis. It was called ‘Civil Rights
Journey,’ and was taught by Julie
Burchett, a teacher whose class
Ribant had taken before and who
she says first sparked her interest
in the civil rights movement.
