Ask students what photos, images, or subject matter come to mind when they think about the phrase “civil rights movement.” As a follow-up, ask them to identify on a map where they think most of the movement occurred. Often, students will identify Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and other southern states. Encourage students to think of civil rights activities in places other than the South.
