In a Nutshell

Students should gain a better understanding of how and why the Civil Rights movement expanded its influence and activities during the 1960’s, led by dynamic spokespersons and committed groups. Plessy v. Ferguson was overturned in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, KS,  leading to several heated events across the nation. Students should analyze how some state laws supporting segregation would need to be addressed through federal action and legislation.

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Provide opportunities for students to evaluate the usefulness of primary and secondary sources while examining landmark Supreme Court cases of the Civil Rights era. 

  •  Assist students to analyze the role of informed and responsible citizens in their political systems and provide examples of changes in civic participation over time. 

  • Analyze multiple causation and change over time by tracing the major events of the Civil Rights Movement.  

  • Analyze historical, contemporary, and emerging means to promote the common good and protect individual rights. 

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • racial discrimination, segregation, prejudice, legacy of slavery

  • efforts of disenfranchisement, voter suppression

  • non-violent resistance; civil disobedience

  • separate by equal policy

  • Fair Housing Act (1968) 

  • Black Power movement

  • Emmett Till; mobilization of black communities 

  • Some students may not easily comprehend that legislative or judicial action does not guarantee immediate change in society.

  • Some students may mistakenly believe change occurs through governmental actions, neglecting to recognize the multiple methods used by civil rights leaders and organizations to bring about necessary change.
