This lesson examines how the success of the Montgomery bus boycott led to the 1957 Civil Rights Act as well as the formation of the Southern Christian Leadership Council. Students assess the impact of the Civil Rights Act and also have an opportunity to contrast two different interpretations.
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.

Slide 1: Title slide
