In this lesson, students will discover the people, groups, and events behind the Civil Rights Movement; learn about means of non-violent protest; opposition to the movement; and identify how it took all three branches of the federal government to effect change. Protest posters, fictional diary entries, and a map of the movement's major events develop a greater understanding of the struggle for civil rights.
