When a seed is planted, it tends to grow. That is what happened in 1955 with the Civil Rights movement. Peaceful sit-ins at local dinners, boycotts, protests, and marches did not always end the same way they had started, but the seeds were planted. Change needed to happen, and the people were tired of waiting. This volume highlights Jim Crow laws, Martin Luther King, Jr., the NAACP, Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks, Brown v. Board of Education, Emmet Till, and others. A mini biography on Maxine Waters sparks further study. Complete with a timeline, glossary, bibliography, and index in the back. 96 pgs, paperback. ~Rebecca

Category Description for Exploring Civil Rights Series
These brief nonfiction readers, covering some of the most tumultuous years of the Civil Rights movement, bring modern history to life for students. History was well documented through photographs, personal stories, and new federal laws established, and with this book, students encounter American history in a very real way. Nonfiction readers like these can spark new avenues of study and encourage students to interact with the history they are learning. Each book is filled with vocabulary words, historical photographs, and world history events, and is chock-full of facts and information. These books would make a wonderful addition to any unit study or modern history course but are just as resourceful as individual readers. This series spans the Civil Rights Movement from 1955–1965, a decade of both advancement and loss for the Black community and the nation. ~Rebecca
