Civil Rights History- Positive-Negative Timeline

Create a Positive/Negative Civil Rights Timeline

Using class notes, the internet, and videos watched in class,  brainstorm a list of events to include in your Civil Rights timelines. Rank events according to their historical significance. The most significant positive ranking would be a +5, and the most significant negative ranking would be a -5. For example, if you include the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., you would likely rank it as a -5.

You are required to include at least 40 events on your timeline.

Timelines can be made from various materials -- graph paper, construction paper or tag board.
