  • Let Justice Roll Down: the Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965)
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1998 Volume I: The Use and Abuse of History in Film and Video Let Justice Roll Down: The Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965) Curriculum Unit 98.01.06 by Joan Rapczynski The curriculum unit I have chosen will be incorporated into the United States History II course that is required of all eleventh graders in the city of New Haven. The unit will focus on the Civil Rights Movement during the years 1954-1965. In my past years of teaching American History, one of my goals was to make history come alive and be exciting for my students. I used a variety of techniques in the classroom recognizing the fact that students learn in a multitude of ways. One method I have found to be extremely successful is the use of visual materials. Films can bring a lesson to life. They can play a vital role in stirring up social issues of the past. Hollywood, as well as independent film companies have created many films that address the issues of the civil rights movement. In viewing a film students can acquire an incredible amount of comprehensive knowledge on a topic. Film visually recreates the time period for students. They are able to see physical gestures, cadences of speech, style of dress, style of architecture, as well as experience the environment. After viewing and discussing the film, students are usually amazed at the amount of factual knowledge they acquired while they were being entertained. I have found it to be an unusual instance when a classroom lecture can have the same impact as a powerful film.

    Order Code RL30076 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Congressional Gold Medals, 1776-2004 Updated November 23, 2004 Stephen W. Stathis Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Congressional Gold Medals, 1776-2003 Summary Senators and Representatives are frequently asked to support or sponsor proposals recognizing historic events, and outstanding achievements by individuals or institutions. Among the various forms of recognition that Congress bestows, the Congressional Gold Medal is often considered the most distinguished. Through this venerable tradition, the occasional commissioning of individually struck gold medals in its name, Congress has expressed public gratitude on behalf of the nation for distinguished contributions for more than two centuries. Since 1776, this award, which initially was bestowed on military leaders, has also been given to such diverse individuals as Sir Winston Churchill and Bob Hope, George Washington and Robert Frost, Joe Louis and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Members of Congress and their staff frequently ask questions concerning the nature, history, and contemporary application of the process for awarding Gold Medals. This report responds to congressional inquiries concerning this process, and includes a historical examination and chronological list of these awards. It is intended to assist Members of Congress and staff in their consideration of future Gold Medal proposals, and will be updated as Gold
