Stand Up for Your Rights
http://pbskids.org/wayback/civilrights/ Stand Up for Your Rights This site covers three important issues, brought to life through individual stories. The issues include women's right to vote, explored through the stories of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony; religious freedom, examined through the trial of Anne Hutchinson in Puritan New England; and the battle for civil rights, told through the story of school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. An interview with Melba Beals, one of the Little Rock Nine, tells how she felt as one of the first African American students to attend Little Rock's Central High. Kids can find out more about the many struggles as well as the personalities involved in the civil rights movement through games and quizzes that will pique their interest to find out more. |
