Friday May 13th

Yikes! Friday the 13th. Luckily, all was well in HOTA today.

First we spent time reviewing Jim Crow by analyzing Langston Hughes. "Beaumont to Detriot: 1943."

Students then worked individually to summarize the major events of the Civil Rights Movement between 1942-1960.

We finished class with another clip from Eyes on the Prize and exploring the role of nonviolent civil disobedience during the student sit-ins of the 1960s.
