Civil Rights Movement 1966-1969

Today, we'll work to construct an electronic timeline of significant events in the struggle for civil rights during the period 1966-1969.
With a partner, you'll be assigned an event that corresponds to a slide on this presentation:
Civil Rights 1966-1969
You need to:

1. Do some quick research about your topic.
2. Then, on your slide, 
• change your title from the name of the topic to a "headline" for a newspaper article about that event.
• List key bullet points that describe the key facts or details about what happened.
• Insert an image or short video that is representative of that event.
• Write a 1 or 2 sentence statement asserting the significance of that event.
• Finally, insert a quotation from MLK's Mountaintop Speech that contains an idea that links to the event.
3. When finished, we'll look at the slide show and then respond to these questions. This response is part of your portfolio:

• What events stand out to you as most significant and why?
• What, if anything surprises you about what you noticed?
• What do you want to know more about and why?
• What questions do you have?

Country in Turmoil

Yesterday, we watched until about 37:00 of Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam.

Today, after looking at these statistics about the escalation of the war, we'll begin work on the Country in Turmoil Web Assignment. We'll look at the first section together and then try to complete the next few on our own. (Sec. 1-5 are due by Thursday).

Into Vietnam

We'll start by introducing the Presidencies in Turmoil assignment.
Next we'll review our notes from Poisoned Dreams, discussing what the Vietnam War was about.
Then, we'll divide up and look at three documents, identifying justifications for war and discussing whether or not we thought they were good reasons.
We'll finish by examining the impact of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution.
In the remaining time, we'll begin watching Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam.

Document 1: Kennedy Letters
Document 2: Johnson Message to the Nation on Tonkin Gulf
Document 3: Johnson Message to Congress

Tonkin Gulf Resolution

Selma and Voting Rights

During the first part of class today, we'll watch what happened with the fight for voting rights in Selma, Alabama in 1965: Selma (1965) and (Part II) responding to the last section in our Youth in the Civil Rights Movement document. Note, for the final reflection, you only need to choose one moment from each section (2 total, not 4).

In the 2nd part of class, we'll work to get an update on the state of voting rights today by reading and reflecting on the articles in this document: Voting Rights 2018
