This lesson examines the Greensboro Sit-in (1960), the Freedom Riders (1961) and the case of James Meredith at the University of Mississippi (1963). The main aim of the lesson is for students to understand the events as well as explain their significance to the progress of civil rights in the 1960s.
I have included two fact sheets (one slightly differentiated) with the information needed for this part of the course which can be found on the final two slides. Therefore, no other resources are needed for the teaching of this lesson.
