In
this Activity you learned about the challenges many African Americans faced during the Civil Rights Era. Imagine what you would have done if
you were born during this time in history and you were asked to take the bold steps
of ending segregation in the public schools.
- Would you have faced the challenges and the threats on a daily
basis as a hero?
- Do you think things have
changed for African Americans in the public school system since 1957?
- Do you
think Thurgood Marshall ended the concept of "separate but equal" in today's
schools?
