Civil Rights Lesson Plan (kidsinbirmingham1963.org)

Looking for a lesson plan that will launch young people into imagining themselves as agents of change? "Kids in Birmingham 1963" shares its second ready-to-go lesson, "What would YOU do?: The 1963 Birmingham Children's Crusade." Students read brief interview statemets from four people, black and white, who were youth in Birmingham at the time of the march. Today's students reflect on whether they would have joined -- or not.

The lesson, designed by classroom teachers Beth Jimerson and Casey Kelly, uses primary source material. It benefits from review by the students of Associate Professor Yonghee Suh of Old Dominion University and participants in a session at the recent National Council for the Social Studies conference.
