Tying it all Together - Civil Rights Mini Course- Unit 1
On Monday, you will participate in a "threaded discussion" covering the packets, videos, Internet sites and lecture material we've dealt with in the past two weeks. Be prepared to participate in the threaded discussion. Rather than discuss issues of reparations as we originally planned, we'll focus on the symbolism behind the "noose" and it's relevance in recent events including the Jena 6 incident.
