This Poster Session will feature a curriculum unit with students looking at the Civil Rights Movement through the lens of the Black Churches. Students will explore why groups like SNCC and SCLC were formed and how they mobilize Blacks and Whites to stand up and speak out against inequalities faced by Blacks in the South. Students will understand why so many Civil Rights Leaders became Reverends and how they used the First Amendment to fight back against their oppressors. Students will examine the various Civil Rights Churches and the impact they had on the movement and their implications for today’s society. Students will research the role North Carolina’s Black Churches and their leaders played in the Civil Rights movement and share their findings with their peers through a product of their choice.
