Timeline during Civil Rights Movement
Leaders of the Movement Trading Cards
In this activity, you will select a leader of the civil rights movement and create a trading card about your civil rights leader. Once we are done, we will trade them between each other. Your job is to figure out what the leader's perspective on the issue was and what they did to fight for Civil Rights.
