Civil Rights Movement Photos

This lesson asks students to engage in chronological reasoning about the development of the Civil Rights Movement in the 20th century using three photographs from the Library of Congress’s digital archive. Effective as a summative unit lesson or an assessment, this lesson requires students to apply broad knowledge of the Civil Rights Movement to draw inferences about the order that the photos were taken.
