This week we will start looking at the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) for Chapter 21. This Chapter briefly discusses some of the larger events and key people of the CRM. There are millions of people who fought during the CRM for equality, equity, and minority rights. The fight still carries on today in many ways. Hopefully the articles below will give you a basis for the history of movement and a better appreciation for those who fought and continue to fight for civil rights in America.

We will have our weekly meetings on iLearn using the Big Blue Button again this week. Please come to our scheduled meeting time.
