The rest of this month, we explore what happened with citizenship and civil rights from the 1960s to the present. Remember this was a complex movement, or really – a set of overlapping movements – with different strategies, constituencies, and histories. It cannot be reduced to a few key figures or events, and it did not end with the 1960s or even in the 1970s. So it helps to think about the civil rights revolution as unresolved, unfinished, and ongoing, and as part of a shared American history no matter your background.<\/p>\n

Tues 11\/15 Rights Revolution <\/strong>
\nReading: Back to both books – Good Citizen<\/em> pp. 240-264 and Right to Vote<\/em> 205-217. Due by the start of class: Final version of the CITIZEN project<\/strong>.

Instead of a reading, please watch the entire “Eyes on the Prize” episode 5 posted below (55 minutes), which covers the period 1962-1964, mainly focused on Mississippi. Take notes<\/strong>, and you might want to leave time to go back to certain scenes to make sure you fully understand this history and its timeline, including the main people and organizations.<\/p>\n
