    Fighting Back (1957-1962) NARRATOR: In 1954, the Supreme Court said black children would go to school with white. The South said, never. GOV. ORVAL FAUBUS: In the name of God, whom we all revere, in the name of liberty we hold so dear, in the name of decency, which we all cherish, what is happening in America? NARRATOR: Was this the start of a new Civil War? [singing] WILLIAM CARTER: Desegregation is against the Bible. I find my scripture for this in Genesis 9:27, where God did segregate and separate the three sons of Noah, sending one out to be a servant while the other two remained in the Tabernacle. I say that God has given the word, his Bible. It ain't right for men to end the curse that He's placed upon any human flesh. SEN. JAMES EASTLAND: All the people of the South are in favor of segregation. And Supreme Court or no Supreme Court, we are going to maintain segregated schools down in Dixie.

Dr. Stephen Meyer has chronicled the history of white resis- tance to housing integration during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century. From the author's perspective, the book is about housing discrimination and segregation-a conflict over residential space that is contested along racial lines between Blacks and whites. It is a story of Blacks seeking to gain access to, and occupy, housing in neighborhoods whites considered to be theirs, and whites' efforts to thwart, prevent, and deter those efforts and to exclude and expel Blacks from those neighbor- hoods.

  • A Teacher's Guide to Discussing Civil and Human Rights
    ★★★★★★ ★★★★★★ ★★★★★★ ★★★★★★A Teacher’s Guide to Discussing CIVIL AND HUMAN ★★★★★★RIGHTS ★★★★★★ Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers INTRODUCTION Most children and young adults know something about the Civil Rights Movement. They know that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. They know that Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy led black people on peaceful marches through the streets of Southern cities and the nation’s capital during the 1950s and 1960s. They may have heard of the “Freedom Riders” and “The Little Rock Nine.” But few know the names of the countless numbers of individuals who risked their lives in an effort to gain equality for their people. Rosa Parks became a hero. So did Martin Luther King, Jr. What about Claudette Colvin, Fred Shuttleworth, Barbara Johns, Elizabeth Eckford, Raymond Greene, Barbara Howard, and Delores Boyd? What about the hundreds of anonymous children and teenagers who marched without fear? What about the students who bravely walked down the halls of white schools during the first days of integration? They are heroes too! Freedom’s Children by Ellen Levine tells the stories of courageous children and teenagers who participated in the Civil Rights Movement. Their names may not appear in history books, but their stories are poignant reminders that the Civil Rights Movement was a success because of them. These children and teenagers understand the meaning of civil liberties. They know the mean- ing of human rights. Their stories, along with the stories of the children who survived the Holocaust, offer heroic role models of young people who know what it means to survive.
