introduction to the civil rights era

Lesson #1:
INTRODUCTION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
In this Elective Course you will embark on a study of the American Civil Rights Movement.  This is a fascinating time in the history of our country and our goal is to study the key events that advanced rights for African Americans and other people of color in this country and to also shed light on the unsung heroes of the movement.  There are 28 distinct lessons in this Elective followed by a project.  Throughout each lesson, you will be keeping a reflection in journal in which you will write your thoughts and ideas while also making connections to the present day.  The Journal Page (linked below) will give you more instructions for how to complete your journal.  

​The journey begins below...

YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS JOURNAL
At this time, set-up your first Journal Entry with the following heading:

Your Name
Today's Date
Lesson #1: Introduction to the Civil Rights Movement


Each Journal Entry will get a separate heading.  Some lessons will have 1 (one) entry while another lesson might have 5 (five). 

Task #1:  Watch the Introduction Video below and then complete Journal Entry #1. 
JOURNAL ENTRY
The last speaker said that "there will be moments of this cycle happening over and over again."  Reflect on these words using your prior knowledge of the Civil Rights Movement and what you see happening in society today.

JOURNAL ENTRY
What are you looking forward to learning most about during this Elective?  What are you hoping to gain from this course?  

There are two videos below - one covering the 1950s and the second covering the 1960s.  The Civil Rights Movement spans both of these decades.  Watch the following videos and then complete the Google Forms questionnaire.
