1 LaTrisha Jackson April 27, 2012 Civil Rights Annotated Bibliography Some people may believe that the Civil Rights Movement began on December 1, On that day, Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. Her actions caused her to be arrested and fined. Further, her actions helped spark a bus boycott that lasted 381 days and provided momentum to propel the Civil Rights Movement into high gear. While Parks courageous stance should be applauded, recognized, and never forgotten, it should also be noted that the Civil Rights Movement did not begin with Rosa Parks arrest. Long before Parks was arrested and helped catapult the Civil Rights Movement, others and other events also had contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. Shortly after the Civil War ended, Civil Rights for African Americans were gradually being developed. Though it was a slow and grueling process-it was a progression nonetheless. Events such as; Plessy vs. Ferguson, Brown vs. Board Education, the Emmett Till Murder helped Americans-particularly African Americans recognize that more rights were needed and deserved for the black race. That being said, the Civil Rights Movement contains a plethora of events and movements that sparked rage and desire to help create equality for all. The multiple events that occurred from Reconstruction to the time of King s death helped fuel a movement that changed America and Americans. Below are five pages of resources that provide information about various events that occurred throughout the Civil Rights Movement. These resources may be used in many ways to help teach kids and adults the meaning of the Civil Rights Movement. Additionally, the resources provided may be used to create lesson plans, projects, and discussions that will have meaningful and lasting impacts within the learning environment. It is the hope that with the assistance of these resources that teachers and students may expand their knowledge on a movement that continues to impact America. 1
