Description

This Library of Congress mini-unit allows students to explore to what extent the African American experience during the first half of the 20th century was "separate but equal." After completing a study of Plessy v. Ferguson (1897), students will simulate the Afro-American Council Meeting in 1898. This will be followed by an exploration of resources in American Memory and other classroom materials. The unit culminating activity is the creation of a similar meeting of the Afro-American Council prior to the Brown case in 1954. Less
