We have begun our final unit of the year on the Civil Rights Movement.
Last week we looked at the six aspects of American life that were segregated by race in the early 20th century.
To recap, they were: Schools, Public Accommodations, Marriage, the Workplace, Politics, and Housing
Yesterday and today we created timelines of some early steps toward equality with four major events being put onto the timeline:
-1942: the founding of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
-1947: Jackie Robinson breaks the color barrier in sports
-1948: President Truman integrates the armed forces
-1954: The US Supreme Court rules that segregation in schools is unconstitutional in Brown vs. Board of Education
A quick look at Brown vs. Board of Education and its impact on the Civil Rights movement
