| Civil Rights Movement Timeline Project
Assignment "Separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks. "Colored balconies" in movie theaters. Seats in the back of the bus. Soldiers called out to protect little children who were trying to go to school. It may be difficult to believe these were examples of conditions in America less than 40 years ago. The struggle to change these conditions, and to win equal protection under the law for citizens of all races, formed the backdrop of Martin Luther King's short life.” Your task is to research the civil rights struggle in modern times and the milestones in the Civil Rights Movement, including the people, places and events that shaped the movement.
