Description

In this two-day lesson, from the New York Times Learning Network, students examine the struggle for desegregation during the Civil Rights Movement and a current study that finds that American schools are reverting to segregation. On the first day, students examine the notion of "separate but equal" by reading the "New York Times" front page from the Brown v. Board of Education decision and by researching different events, legislation, and organizations that influenced desegregation. On the second day, students assess ways in which race relations have and have not changed since this historic decision, examine the recent "resegregation" study, and propose suggestions for addressing concerns about the school segregation issue to local, state, or national leaders.
