A Time for Justice: America's Civil Rights Movement
This kit gathers teaching materials depicting the battle for civil rights, recalling the crises in Montgomery, Little Rock, Birmingham, and Selma, and revealing the heroism of the individuals involved.
Mighty Times: The Children's March
In May of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. asked black people of Birmingham, Alabama to go to jail in the cause of racial equality. The adults were afraid to go to jail and so the school children marched and over 5000 of them were arrested. This led President Kennedy to sponsor the 1964 Civil Rights Act which eventually led to the march on Washington. Contains vintage film footage, re-stagings of some activities and interviews with some of the protesters.
Starting Small
Designed for in-service programs, this training tool for early grades educators profiles classrooms in which peace, equity and justice are guiding themes. The kit includes a 58-minute film in DVD format with closed-captioning; and 250-page text with classroom profiles, commentary, activities and a resource guide.
Viva la Causa
Using historical footage and dramatic reenactments, this film focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights -- the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. Thousands of people from across the nation joined in a struggle for justice for the some of the most exploited people in the United States.
