The Civil Rights Movement: Moving Beyond the Familiar Story
May 15
The civil rights movement is often taught with a narrow lens; it focuses on a few iconic figures, landmark events and a narrow timeline in the 1950s and 1960s. This free webinar, designed for grades 6 to 12 educators, seeks to extend the textbook, moving beyond the simplified narrative and exploring the civil rights movement in ways that will deepen student appreciation and understanding.
