“It had made me glow with pride to know that I had played one small part. But even then I also knew that we‘d won just one battle and there were many more to come.â€

I will be using books like this in my classroom to show my students how children their own age feel about the things in the world that are unfair and need to be changed. It is a lesson on self reflection

This book was a new perspective of the Civil Rights Movement that was told from the perspective of a child who was a member of the family that pushed for the Civil Rights Act of 1965. It was a powerful story about the impact that only a few people can have on the entire world

This HF short novel is a great IR for young students. The novel is from a young girl's perspective during a time were white Americans and black Americans were at a divide. She had an activist father and a community of leaders all around her, including Uncle Martin (MLK). Not only could this be a great IR, but It could also be an RA during a history lesson. #ucflae3414f19

This is an RNF PB, “Child of the Civil Rights Movementâ€, written and illustrated by Paula Young Shelton and Raul Colon. This book is amazing because it‘s written from the perspective of MLK‘s niece, when she was living as a young child during the birth of the civil rights movement. Teaching Strategies: RC, LA. UDL: 3.1 Make sure students have an understanding of the civil rights movement era before reading the text.

This HF highlights the effects of the Jim Crow laws throughout the Civil Rights Movement through the eyes of a 4-year-old girl, along with the strengthened African American community persistently fighting for their rights. This book would be great for SR to have group discussion about the similarities of this time in history to current events as well as teaching how the power of community can truly make changes in our society!

DMoux https://www.civilrightsteaching.org/comfort-food/ A lesson plan that allows for personal connections to be made with civil right activists through family and food.
UDL 7.2 will optimize the relevance, value and authenticity of what the community of social activists truly entailed. ESOL strategy 32 can allow student pairs to optimize comprehension in SR and the activity. #ucflae3414su19

DrSpalding This is historical fiction as long as the main character is not a real person. I like the idea of shared reading and allowing partners to turn and talk to one another to enhance comprehension. 5y

I picked this up today, feeling like I'd read it but didn't remember it. This is a child's eye view of the Civil Rights Movement, with Shelton's parents being organizers in the movement. It is a lovely, accessible way for children to understand how Jim Crow laws oppressed people and what it was like to participate in a peaceful protest (namely the Selma march). I am a huge fan of Raul Colón and was just as moved by his work here. 💕
