Making A Change - The First Amendment & the Civil Rights Movement

Making A Change - The First Amendment & the Civil Rights Movement | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.newseum.org - August 31, 2013 11:10 PM

"This learning module explores how the First Amendment shaped the civil rights movement. Delve into hundreds of historical newspapers, videos, photographs and more to find out how the five freedoms empowered people fighting for change — and those fighting against it. Individuals young and old, black and white, male and female, rich and poor became part of this movement. Some of their efforts succeeded; some failed. But everyone involved shared the belief that their voices and actions, supported by the First Amendment, had the power to change the nation."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Newseum has just released a new moduel that explores the First Amendment and the Civil Rights Movement. You will find:

* An interactive timeline featuring videos, photographs and front pages from a variety of historical newspapers

* A media map, allowing you to compare the front page of newspapers from across the country

* Multimedia panels looking at contemporary civil rights issues

* Standards designed lesson plans

This website will help students historical thinking, media literacy and civic engagement. Students may also submit their work for display in the Digital Classroom.
