  1. Methods of the Civil Rights movement

  2. Warm-up • What form of protest do you think is most effective violent or non-violent? Why?

  3. Announcements • Unit 3 test: November 17th • Unit 3 Debate: November 16th • Quiz: Tuesday: November 9th • Debate Topic: Affirmative Action is necessary to maintain racial equality in jobs and in schools. • HW: Read pg 596-601. Answer pg 601 Questions 1,2, and 3

  4. Reflection • Look at your grade. What did you do to earn this grade (positives and negatives)? • What is your goal for next quarter? What will you continue to do or do differently to achieve that? • What can Ms. Jhaveri do to help you achieve your goals?

  5. Vocabulary • Civil disobedience: a group's refusal to obey a law because they believe the law is immoral

  6. Boycotting Boycotts are when a group of people decide to refuse to buy, sell or use a certain product or company.

  7. Sit-ins To protest segregation at restaurants, sit-ins were organized. African Americans went to all white restaurants and sat there until they were either served or they were arrested.

  8. Marches Marches were organized in cities across the country to bring attention to segregation. Marchers faced sometimes violent police response and were jailed or disbursed through force, like water hoses.

  9. Voter-registration campaigns (legislation) These were used to increase the black vote and thus black power in politics. African Americans could get desegregation legislation passed or desegregation candidates elected by turning out the vote.

  10. March in DC

  11. Sit-ins North Carolina

  12. The Situation • You are a college student at Morgan State University in 1960. There are still many restaurants in Baltimore that are segregated. You and your friends decide that you need to do something to change the situation

  13. Your Task • You will be either assigned to voter-registration campaigns, marches, sit-ins and boycotts. • You, along with your group will have to come up with a plan to fight the segregation using the method that you have been assigned. • You will fill out your plan sheet and then use the materials (markers, poster paper, colored paper) to make what you need to protest.

  14. Presentation • Each member of your group must participate. • 1 person will tell us what your method is and what it means • 1 person will tell us what your plan is • 1 person will tell us what materials you have made and why you created them.

  15. What if this happened today? • Pretend that Baltimore City just passed a law that required all teenagers to be inside their houses by 7pm. If any teenager was caught on the street after 7pm they would be arrested. You and your friends disagree with this law. • Create a plan to protest this unfair law using the methods that we talked about today. Include at least 2 of the methods we learned about today and why you think it might be successful. • If you have time you can start creating materials you might need, like posters, pamphlets and flyers.
