Remember the Titans

For the rest of the week we will be watching the film "Remember the Titans".  This is our culminating activity to bring it all together after studying Jim Crow segregation, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, and completing a Civil Rights Era webquest.
 I love this movie, not only because it is fun to watch, but because it makes connections to desegregation, busing, the Battle of Gettysburg, and even Ol' John Brown.

Civil Rights Webquest

Today we will take a look at the Civil Rights movement.  As you know, the attempt to bring African Americans into American society as equal citizens during Reconstruction was not a success.  In the following webquest you will have the opportunity to see how this movement was "renewed" during the 20th century.  Click the following link to begin the webquest.
