Brown v. Board and The Augusta Chronicle by Lily MANSFIELD '22 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78 A supplemental lesson to Episode 1 of The Misconception Correction: Civil Rights en-us 2021-05-24 17:56:19 UTC 2025-11-18 03:01:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4f0.png Introduction lmansfield20 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555486737 Here we'll be examining the front page of The Augusta Chronicle, a newspaper from Georgia, on Tuesday, May 18, 1954. The major headline of the day was the Brown v. Board of Education decision. As you might have read on the website, there was a significant amount of Southern opposition to the decision. Now, you'll apply your knowledge of Brown and the Southern backlash to it in order to do a close reading of this page.]]> 2021-05-24 22:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555486737 PDF of the front page lmansfield20 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555516642 note: the text becomes more legible as you zoom in on the document

Board decision. Read it, then write about how does it show its biases, based on location or other factors you might know? Pay special attention to the quotes by senators. Who does it quote? Why do you think that is?
Write a short response explaining how one quote demonstrates the point of view of the article. Try to keep it under 200 words, so no more than a few short paragraphs, and draw your evidence from the podcast as well as the primary source.]]> 2021-05-24 22:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555520030 Part II: Private school plan lmansfield20 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555549752 The Governor Talmadge referred to in the article was Governor Herman Eugene Talmadge. He was first elected in 1948 after his father, Governor Eugene Talmadge, died before he could take office. How might his plan to get around the Supreme Court decision have affected public sentiment? Consider the fact that his father was first elected in 1933, so the state of Georgia had known the Talmadge family for over 20 years. Again, keep it under 200 words, and incorporate evidence from the article and the podcast.]]> 2021-05-24 23:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1555549752 Part III: Layout lmansfield20 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1556152256 Looking back at the front page as a whole, how might the placement of the pieces have affected how they were received? Feel free to skim over the other articles that we haven't talked about yet. For example, might putting an article about a Black murderer next to the integration-related articles have affected how white readers perceived the idea? 
As usual, keep this final response under 200 words, and be sure to draw evidence from both the primary source and the podcast.]]> 2021-05-25 03:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1556152256 Bibliography lmansfield20 https://padlet.com/lmansfield20/jint0tphrkynec78/wish/1558108845 Augusta Chronicle (Augusta, Georgia), May 18, 1954. https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=EANX-K12&docref=image/v2%3A1252FEAF2D2D3A44%40EANX-K12-128192BC5F6CE692%402434881-128192BC607F2F83%400-1281997031118231.
