Twelve Days in May
Twelve Days in May: Freedom Ride 1961 | Larry Dane Brimner
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award Winner On May 4, 1961, a group of thirteen black and white civil rights activists launched the Freedom Ride, aiming to challenge the practice of segregation on buses and at bus terminal facilities in the South. The Ride would last twelve days. Despite the fact that segregation on buses crossing state lines was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1946, and segregation in interstate transportation facilities was ruled unconstitutional in 1960, these rulings were routinely ignored in the South. The thirteen Freedom Riders intended to test the laws and draw attention to the lack of enforcement with their peaceful protest. As the Riders traveled deeper into the South, they encountered increasing violence and opposition. Noted civil rights author Larry Dane Brimner relies on archival documents and rarely seen images to tell the riveting story of the little-known first days of the Freedom Ride. With author’s note, source notes, bibliography, and index.

This book features a wonderful array of photographs that illustrate this time period in American history and would be a great book to feature during Black History Month! It‘s about a group of civil rights activists who launched the Freedom Ride aiming to challenge the practice of segregation on buses in the South.

Cruzdia1 A great UDL strategy that can be used with this book is 7.1: Optimize individual choice and autonomy. An ESOL strategy that can be incorporated into this class is 14: simplify your speech by making it slower and more redundant. (edited) 7y
Cruzdia1 Here‘s a cool documentary style clip of the African American Civil Rights Movement in the United States, this one mainly concentrating on segregation in the South. https://youtu.be/Sqsb9FqdpVk 7y
DrSpalding Diana, you did a beautiful job reading a variety of award winners. Excellent choice in this Sibert award winner with a helpful five minute YouTube video as a complement. What a great book to read during a social studies unit in February. 7y
