teaching tolerance tolerance.orgIntroductionIt has been more than half a century since many of the major events of the moderncivil rights movement. For today’s students—and some of their teachers—it can seemlike ancient history. But the civil rights movement transformed the country. Throughthe persistent use of nonviolent strategies—including marches, court cases, boycottsand civil disobedience—brave black and white Americans joined forces to pursuethe legal equality that the Constitution guarantees to all persons.This teaching guide provides lessons and materials about the modern civil rightsmovement—from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision in which the Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional, and the passage, in 1965, ofthe Voting Rights Act. The unit encourages students to imagine what life was like inthe Jim Crow South, to understand why so many people were willing to risk theirlives to change it, and to explore how they went about doing so. This teaching guidehas five lessons:A Time for JusticeThis lesson uses Teaching Tolerance’s award-winning film A Time for Justice toprovide an overview of key events in the modern movement for African-Americanequality. If you have time for only one lesson, this would be the likely choice.NonviolenceIn this lesson, students learn about nonviolence, then read primary source documents from the civil rights movement that show how activists used the practice asthe basis for their actions.Facing ResistancePeople in the struggle encountered fierce resistance. In this lesson,students learn about some of the brave Americans who gave theirlives in the struggle for freedom.A Civil RightsTimeline PosterIncluded in the kit isa full-size classroomPOSTERBONUS poster with a bonusVictoriesLESSON lesson.

teaching tolerance tolerance.orgLESSON 1A Time for JusticeA Film Overview of the Civil Rights MovementFrameworkIn this lesson, students watch the Academy Award-winning film A Time for Justicethat highlights some of the major events of the modern civil rights movement. Thefilm and activities provide an overview of the movement and engage students withsome of the big questions the movement raises—about the struggle for equal rightsunder the law, about how that struggle was waged and about the importance of thecivil rights movement in United States history.ObjectivesStudents will be able to: locate key events of the civil rights movement on a timeline gather information from a film recognize that, in addition to movement leaders, everyday people participated in thefreedom struggle assess how the civil rights movement changed the United StatesMaterials Handout: Alone in a Crowd (page 11) Poster: A Civil Rights Timeline (included with the kit) Film: A Time for JusticeActivitiesPreparing to Watch the Film1. In pairs, look at the photograph on the handout. Have you ever seenit before? If so, discuss with your partner what you know about whatit shows. Then, whether you know the photo or not, discuss it in moredetail. What do you notice about the people in the photo? Who is infront? What is she doing? How do you imagine she feels? Who are theother people in the photo? What are they doing? What do you imagine they are saying? How do you imagine they feel? What makes youthink so? What feelings do you have when you look at the photo?The photograph was taken in 1957. The young black woman is Elizabeth Eckford. She was one of nine black students who set out to attendLittle Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. The SupremeCourt had ruled in 1954 that segregated schools were unconstitutional.The Little Rock Nine, as they came to be called, were attempting todo what the law said was their right: to attend a school that had, untilthen, educated only white students.Essential QuestionsWhat were some keyevents in the civilrights movement?Who participatedin the civil rightsmovement? How didthey participate?Why were people willing to risk their safetyto participate in thecivil rights movement?How did the civil rightsmovement change theUnited States?A TIME FOR JUSTICE TEACHER’S GUIDE8

teaching tolerance tolerance.orgWhat do you already know about the civil rights movement? Also, when you thinkabout the civil rights movement, who comes to mind? What are some important events inthe movement that you know about?2. You are going to watch a film about the struggle for civil rights in the mid-20th century. The film is a series of stories about important events in the movement. Here is anumbered list of those events:1. Murder of Emmett Till2. Montgomery Bus Boycott3. Integration of Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Ark.4. Lunch-counter sit-ins5. Freedom Rides6. Birmingham, Ala. demonstrations “Letter from a Birmingham jail” bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church7. Voting rights actions registration drive murder of civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Miss. murder of Jimmie Lee Jackson “Bloody Sunday”Count off by sevens. Form a group with those who called the same number you did.On the list above, find the event that has the same number as your group. Then locatethat event on the timeline, noting the year in which it happened. For example, group#2 needs to find the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Create a physical timeline by havinggroups line up in the order in which the events that they have been assigned happened. When the line is in place, start with the first event, and have someone fromthat group say aloud, “The murder of Emmett Till, 1955.” Proceed in this fashion until each group has announced its event and the year in which it happened. This willgive you a general idea of when these key events took place and the order in whichthey happened. Knowing that will help you get more out of the film.Watching the Film3. Watch the film. It begins at the grave of Jimmie Lee Jackson, then goes back intime to set the context of segregation and tell the story of the murder of Emmett Till.From there, the events are shown in the order in which they happened. Each of theevents you found on the timeline has a segment devoted to it. (Note: Because the filmis so rich with images and shows so many important parts of the civil rights movement, students will get the most out of it if they see it twice. Have students watch the film once to getthe big picture and understand the emotional impact. Then have them watch it again pausing at the end of each segment to take some notes.)Understanding the Film4. Once you have watched the film, step back from the specific incidents to thinkabout the movement as a whole. Write down some answers to the following questionsso that you can participate in a class discussion. The discussion will help you generalize about the events you have seen.A TIME FOR JUSTICE TEACHER’S GUIDE9

teaching tolerance tolerance.orgWhat did you find most striking about the civil rights movement?What surprised or confused you about the civil rights movement?What were the goals of the civil rights movement?What were the strategies of the movement’s participants?In what ways did the civil rights movement succeed? What made those successes possible?What remains to be done to create a truly just and equitable society?What questions do you still have about the civil rights movement?Recognizing Change Over Time5. As you saw in the film, the civil rights movement brought about some big changesin the United States. Thinking about what you have seen and discussed, list some ofthose changes. Then create a before-and-after photograph display that shows them.You can find “before” photos online and in some of the resources listed in the Introduction. The “after” photos may also come from Internet sources, or you can take photosyourself that show scenes that would not have happened before the modern movementfor African-American equality. For example, a “before” picture might show AfricanAmericans sitting in the back of a bus, while the “after” picture might be a photo thatyou have taken of an integrated bus. To accompany your visual display, write an answer to this question: Why did the changes that the civil rights movement broughtabout matter? Display student projects so you can see one another’s work.Extension ActivityTo learn more about the events in the film, form seven groups, and have each grouptake one of the events. (Note: Have students form groups based on interest or randomlyassign the events.) With your group, research your event so that you can explain it toyour classmates. You can probably find some information in a textbook. In addition,review the Resources list in the Introduction. Have members of your group presentthe information to the class. Begin each presentation by finding the event on thetimeline poster and telling your classmates when the event happened. Include anyhistoric photographs you have found.A TIME FOR JUSTICE TEACHER’S GUIDE10

They ended slavery, made AfricanAmericans citizens and extended voting rights to former slaves and their descendents.
