The March on Washington

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:57:30 UTC

On August 28, 1963, about 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C. for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This is where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech. The march helped convince Congress to pass important civil rights laws.

John Lewis and the Selma March

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:57:51 UTC

In March 1965, civil rights leader John Lewis helped lead a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to fight for voting rights. On 'Bloody Sunday,' peaceful protesters were attacked by police. This shocking event convinced many Americans to support voting rights. I've found an excellent EPIC book about John Lewis's incredible journey.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:01 UTC

When Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in 1955, she helped start the Montgomery Bus Boycott. For 381 days, African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, refused to ride city buses to protest segregation. This peaceful protest led to a Supreme Court decision that made bus segregation illegal.

The Little Rock Nine

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:12 UTC

In 1957, nine brave African American students (known as the Little Rock Nine) faced angry crowds to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. President Eisenhower had to send soldiers to protect them. Their courage helped make school integration possible. Here's an age-appropriate article about their experience.

Lunch Counter Sit-Ins

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:22 UTC

On February 1, 1960, four college students sat down at a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Though they were refused service and asked to leave, they sat quietly and did their homework. Their peaceful protest sparked similar sit-ins across the country. Watch this student-friendly video about their brave actions!

Jackie Robinson Breaks the Color Barrier

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:32 UTC

In 1947, Jackie Robinson made history by becoming the first African American to play in Major League Baseball. His courage and skill helped break down racial barriers in sports and inspired others to fight for equality. Watch this kid-friendly video about his remarkable journey!

Brown v. Board of Education

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:42 UTC

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision that changed American education forever. They ruled that separate schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. This case helped end segregation in schools across America. Check out this article written just for students your age!

Jim Crow Laws Explained

makelly34 — 2025-03-28 18:58:55 UTC

Jim Crow laws were unfair rules that separated black and white people in schools, restaurants, buses, and other public places. These laws were mostly used in the Southern United States from the 1870s until 1965. I've found a great EPIC book that explains this difficult topic in a way that's perfect for 5th graders.
