Segregation and the Civil Rights Movement

This is a lesson in a scheme of work called ‘From slavery to the Windrush: Black people’s experiences in the UK and America’

Pupils briefly look at Reconstruction and segregation, and then investigate key events in the Civil Rights Movement through pictures and newspapers. The lesson ends with pupils looking at the positive and negative impacts of the movement to come to a conclusion on the effect it had on Black people’s lives.

This is planned for a double lesson, so would need adapting according to your own needs.

Please feel free to use and adapt!
