In April, about 52 west metro students toured several historic civil rights landmarks including the Edmund Pettis Bridge, 16th Street Baptist Church, National Civil Rights Museum, the African American Civil War Museum,and the Martin Luther King Memorial.

And by many students' accounts, it was a life-changing experience.

On Thursday, the public can get a glimpse of the students' experience through the screenings of three documentaries. After each screening, students will be available to answer questions.

The documentary screening will take place at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School Auditorium from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday. The auditorium is located at 10635 North 36th Ave., Plymouth
