Background information for teachers: On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested for refusing to obey a Montgomery bus driver's order to give her seat up for a boarding white passenger as required by city ordinance. Such municipal and state laws designed to separate the races were common in the South at the time. These segregation codes were increasingly onerous to African Americans, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka struck down legal barriers to school integration in 1954. Outrage in Montgomery's black community over the arrest of Rosa Parks sparked a boycott against the city's bus line -- the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the beginning of the modern Civil Rights Movement. Wo Read More Go to Site Alabama Archives: Teacher Packet Votes:0 Lesson 2: The Opinions of the Public 1. Background information for teachers: George Corley Wallace was elected Governor of Alabama in the November elections of 1962. Blaming an earlier, 1958 defeat for the same office on his failure to exploit the racial fears of white voters, Wallace based his successful 1962 campaign on pledges to resist the federal government's efforts to force integration upon Alabama. Scheduled to take office in January of 1963, Wallace became the focal point for both those who supported and opposed integration during a period of tremendous racial turmoil and violence. Justifying his segregationist stance on the need to preserve "states' rights" in the face of federal tyranny, Governor Wallace's pronouncements like " Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation Read More Go to Site Alabama Archives: Teacher Packet Votes:0 Lesson 3: Birmingham 1963 1. Background information for teachers: By April of 1963, Birmingham, Alabama had become a national example of racial tension and strife. In the spring of 1962, city parks and public golf courses had been closed to prevent desegregation and the black community had attempted to protest racial activities by boycotting selected Birmingham merchants. In response, food that was appropriated for needy families had been cut by the city commissioners. City elections and demonstrations against segregation further separated the city racially for a year and produced a population that was both angry and afraid. On April 12, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. was sentenced to a nine-day jail term for his part in desegregation demonstrations. It was during this time that King wrote Read More Go to Site Alabama Archives: Teacher Packet Votes:0 Lesson 4: Marching for Justice - Selma to Montgomery 1. Background information for teachers: Despite a succession of federal court rulings designed to open the polls to African Americans in the 1960s, black Alabamians in huge numbers were not registered to vote due to the power of local voter registrars to erect obstacles. The problem was particularly acute in the Black Belt of the state, where whites feared losing political control when the black majority population gained the franchise. Selma, in the heart of the Black Belt, became a focus for black registration drives in the early 1960s and, in 1965, was chosen by African American Civil Rights leaders as the site from which to launch a march on Montgomery, the state capital, to dramatize the plight of the disfranchised. The march of a f Read More Go to Site Alabama Archives: Teacher Packet Votes:0 Lesson 5: Voting Rights 1. Background information for teachers: From its beginnings into the 1960s, Alabama virtually had denied the right to vote to African Americans. The Civil War freed them from slavery and a succession of amendments to the U.S. Constitution in the Reconstruction Era conferred citizenship and the franchise upon them. However, physical and economic intimidation exercised by politically powerful white Alabamians often restricted African Americans through the end of the 19th century. Suffrage provisions adopted in the 1901 state Constitution effectively disfranchised the vast majority of black Alabamians, as well as large segments of the poor white population. A dizzying array of property, literacy and poll tax requirements operated to deny African Americans the vote thro Read More Go to Site US Civil Rights Unit Plan Votes:0 SUBJECT: History TOPIC: U.S. Civil Rights in the 1960's GRADE LEVEL: 10-12 CREATORS: James Barbret, Joel Circrone, Sharon Drochak, NatalieSurowy, Doug Walden U.S. Civil Rights in the 1960's - Unit Plan Road Map Day 1 Introduction Day 2 Beginning of Movement Day 3 Rosa Parks (lesson plan) Day 4 Marches \ Rallies (lesson plan) Day 5 Marches \ Rallies Day 6 Field Trip - African American History Museum Day 7 Field Trip follow-up Day 8 M.L.K.
