ACTIVITY 1

1. ACTIVITY 1 Use your completed question sheets from last week to enter details for all 6 civil rights campaigns into your progress tracker. You should continue using your previous progress tracker sheet (draw a line under the last entry). You have 2 new copies (double sided) too. A reminder of how to fill it in…. Which groups/individuals were involved in the campaign? eg. transport Did the campaign fail in any way to achieve its objectives? Was there a lot of opposition to the campaign? If so, record details here. • Focus on what the campaign achieved: • What improvements in civil rights did it lead to? • and/or was it significant for other reasons? The date(s) of the campaign

2. ACTIVITY 2 You need to draw an A3 copy of this ‘impact line’. Write the civil rights campaigns/developments you’ve learnt about so far on the ‘impact line’ to show how much of an impact you think each one had on changing civil rights for black Americans. Then add some brief notes for each one to explain your thinking, ie. why did it have/not have a big impact? You must include evidence and examples in your explanation. Example – I’ve chosen to put the Brown v. Topeka case at +2.5. I’ve explained my decision below. If you can’t fit your explanations on your A3 sheet, you could write them on lined paper instead or on the back Brown v. Topeka Big impact +3 -2 -1 +2 0 +1 -3 Little impact The Supreme Court said that segregation in education was unconstitutional (illegal). Even though many schools in the South ignored this, NAACP lawyers were able to use this case as a precedent to push for desegregation of buses in the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
