The Civil Rights Movement

 

Introduction:

    In this web quest you will be learning about the unfair treatment of people because of differences. You will learn how they broke free of these prejudice acts and the hero's that lead this movement. In the 1950's some people felt as if society held them back from their natural rights. There was separation in armed forces, education, and transportation. It is important to learn about the past, because it is what has made the future. If it wasn't for this important event in time people would still be seperated because of their race and religion.

First, read the introduction. This will lead you into the whole idea of the web quest.
