Date posted: 1/14/2005 ..
Why did Rosa Parks refuse to give up her seat on a bus? What happened when two interracial bus rides through the South tested a Supreme Court ruling? Why were 2,000 schoolchildren arrested for marching? What impact has “Brown v. Board of Education” had in Chinese and Mexican American communities? The expanded collection of over 140 resources explores these questions and more. Resource highlights:
The docudrama “Simple Justice,” presented in six video segments, portrays the legal struggle to end school segregation, and the civil rights giants who argued the cases up to the Supreme Court. “Brown Reactions” offers a sampling of newspaper editorials and commentaries by black educators and white segregationists reflecting the range of public opinion and responses to the Brown ruling. “The Civil Rights Movement in America, 1945-1975,” an interactive timeline, provides a chronological and geographic view of the events of the Civil Rights era and its aftermath. Organized by topics including legal strategies, voting rights, mass protest, leaders and organizers, and culture of the movement, the resources are accompanied by background information, discussion questions, lesson plans, correlations to standards, and resource management tools to facilitate teachers’ use of the library. The Civil Rights Special Collection is an offering of Teachers' Domain (http://www.teachersdomain.org), a free online digital library of K-12 resources correlated to national and state standards, which include background essays, lesson plans, and customizable resource management tools to facilitate use by teachers in the classroom. The Teachers’ Domain Civil Rights Special Collection is produced by WGBH Boston in partnership with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and Washington University in St. Louis. Funding is provided by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the Open Society Institute. For additional information contact
