This website contains links to many great videos
that could be used in both lessons and as well as
for learning more about the topic of the Civil Rights
Movement. Some of the topics that the videos
show are: Brown V. Board of Education, the
freedom rides, the Jim Crowe Laws, the March To
Montgomery, and many other important events.

While these videos doesnt have as serious of a
tone, or contain any actual footage of the events
that they speak about, they are a fun way to
introduce the topic of Civil Rights, or the event that
the video is about. They are in the form of a
cartoon, and contain just the right amount of
vocabulary words, and information that really draws students in. Some of the available
topics that pertain to Civil Rights are: Martin Luther King Jr., Brown V. Board of Education,
Malcolm X, and an overview of Civil Rights

This PBS video speaks about the integration of
schools, however what makes it more unique as it
is told from the point of view from a local barber in
Birmingham, Alabama whom lived through the
Civil Rights Movement. The video talked about
some of the things that the students had to endure
during the beginning of integration, such as kids
spitting on them, laughing at them, etc. One of the men in the video stated that he knew
that he couldnt do or say anything back though/get in trouble at all, because he didnt
want the white people to say see, this is why they cant go to school with us.

This video provides the perfect introduction into the
unit of Civil Rights. It is powerful, without having to
say a word, as the pictures do all the talking. This
three minute video shows over 100 pictures that
were taken over the course of the civil rights
movement. This really sets the tone for what the
entire unit will be like.

This video would be the video that would be shown
in the first lesson pertaining to the march on
Washington. It details the lengths that people took
to attend the march, as well as the preparations
that had to be made to accommodate all the
people, and it shows the overall mood and
excitement that surrounded everyone that was present at the march. We felt as though we
were back in time at the site of the march while watching this video. We would stop it at
about 23 minutes in however, as some of the audio has been removed.

This is the video that we chose to use in our lesson
that was teaching about Martin Luther King Jr. and
his letter from Birmingham jail. This video shows
many images of Martin Luther King Jr. and has the
man that is narrating MLKs letter is speaking in a
manner that is easy to understand and is accurate
to what the letter says.

The History Channels website provides a wealth of
information about the Civil Rights Movement, as
well as many great videos that are both
informational and interesting to watch. These
videos could be watched by teachers like we did
for our icp to gain further information about the
topic, or by students for various activities or even on their own time to learn further about the
topic.

This video was a lot of fun, as it is a rap that speaks
about a few of the events that took place during
the Civil Rights movement. It would be a lot of fun
to use this in the classroom, and have the students
come up with extra verses to include all of the
events that they learned about in class and maybe
even make up their own rap entirely.

This is the video that we are using in the Martin
Luther King Jr. portion of the March on Washington
lesson. This video is great as it has subtitles. This is
very useful, because it can be very difficult to
understand at times, so this will allow our students
to both see and hear the words to this iconic
speech.

This is an interview with the famous poet Dr. Maya
Angelou. She speaks about what we should
remember most about Dr. King and his legacy. This
would be great for students to watch, as it is
helpful to hear multiple perspectives on someone
so that you can have a much fuller picture of who
they are/were.

This is a video that I would show my student in
order for my students to gain more background
knowledge on the Birmingham Church Bombings.
This would give the students insight to the
Birmingham Church Bombings in a short amount
of time.

This film could be shown in social studies or ELA as
this event occurs in the novel, The Watsons Go to
Birmingham1963. It is a very well researched film
that is full of first-hand account interviews from the
girls family members, many photos and video clips
within the documentary; it really does a thorough
job of illustrating the context of the time period in
which this awful event occurred.
