"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."
