Putting the Movement Back Into Civil Rights Teaching
The Civil Rights Movement is one of the most commonly taught stories about the fight for democracy and equal rights. However, the powerful stories of everyday people organizing and working together for social change are lost in the focus on a few major heroes and dates.
Putting the Movement Back Into Civil Rights Teaching and its companion website offer a collection of lessons, essays, articles, primary documents, and poetry to help educators move beyond a "heroes and holidays" approach to teaching about the Civil Rights Movement. The focus is on the themes of women, youth, organizing, culture, institutional racism, and the interconnectedness of social movements. The resources are organized in eight sections: Critiquing the Traditional Narrative, Framing the Movement, Desegregation of Public Spaces, Voting Rights, Black Power, Labor and Land, Transnational Solidarity, and Student Engagement.
