  • The Selma Voting Rights Struggle: 15 Key Points from Bottom-Up History and Why It Matters Today
    The Selma Voting Rights Struggle: 15 Key Points from Bottom-Up History and Why It Matters Today A shorter version of this article, "Ten Things You Should Know About Selma Before You See the Film," is available on Common Dreams at http://bit.ly/10thingsselma. Free downloadable lessons and resources to bring this bottom-up history to the classroom are available at http://bit.ly/teachselma. For an online version of this article with related resources, visit http://bit.ly/selma15. By Emilye Crosby On this 50th anniversary year of the Selma-to-Montgomery March and the Voting Rights Act it helped inspire, national attention is centered on the iconic images of "Bloody Sunday," the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the interracial marchers, and President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act. This version of history, emphasizing a top-down narrative and isolated events, reinforces the master narrative that civil rights activists describe as "Rosa sat down, Martin stood up, and the white folks came south to save the day." Today, issues of racial equity and voting rights are front and center in the lives of young people. There is much they can learn from an accurate telling of the Selma (Dallas County) voting rights campaign and the larger Civil Rights Movement. We owe it to students on this anniversary to share the history that can help equip them to carry on the struggle today. A march of 15,000 in Harlem in solidarity with the Selma voting rights struggle. World Telegram & Sun photo by Stanley Wolfson. Library of Congress © Teaching for Change | teachingforchange.org 1 1.

  • Stepping Into Selma Voting Rights History and Legacy Today by Deborah Menkart
    LESSON Stepping into Selma Voting Rights History and Legacy Today By Deborah Menkart This lesson on the voting rights movement in Selma is based on an effective format that has been used with students and teachers to introduce a variety of themes including the history and literature of Central America, the U.S. Mexico War, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, women in the Civil Rights Movement, and more. The lesson is not intended to provide an in-depth history. Instead, it invites students to step into the history, introducing them to people, turning points, and issues. The lesson format provides students the scaffolding for deeper study and is often used as a prereading or pre-film-viewing activity. If used in advance of viewing the film Selma, it can help students recognize and understand more of the people and issues that are referenced. Time Required Two Class Periods Grade Level Middle School + Objectives Students will be able to discuss the history of Selma with more background knowledge and insight, including the following aspects of the context of the struggle: • the long history of grassroots organizing for civil and human rights • the role of many local, state, and federal institutions that were complicit in preventing Black voting • the central role of youth, women, and key organizations such as the Dallas County Voters League (DCVL), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) • relevance and lessons for similar or current struggles Materials and Preparation Read the following in advance of using the lesson: The Selma Voting Rights Struggle: 15 Key Points from Bottom-Up History and Why It Matters Today by Emilye Crosby; background on Selma at CRMvet.org.
