Anderson Monarchs return home
13-year-olds from Philadelphia are home after a 3 week trip through history

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A group of 13-year olds from Philadelphia are back home after a three week trip through history.



The teens play for the Anderson Monarchs, a city sponsored youth baseball team.



The kids, including seven members of the Taney Dragons championship team, loaded onto a bus in June and traveled to 20 cities, including Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Selma.



It was a chance for them to learn about the Civil Rights Movement while they played baseball.
