Civil Rights Movement, PowerPoint Presentation

 http://www.ghgcorp.com/hollaway/civil/contents.htm
 This site has a plethora of information about black history in
 America.  This would be a good site for reference information on
 the progression of blacks in America.  Although, it doesn’t have
 very much for the students to interact with while on line, it is a
 great informational site that would be beneficial for writing a
 paper.

 http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/movement/Seatimeline.html
 This site begins with a quick introduction and mainly consists of
 an easy to read timeline.  There are pictures of people and events
 that are uniquely designed along the left side of the site.  There
 are brief descriptions of each person or event along the right side
 of the page.  This is good for a quick reference.

 http://www.civilrightsphotos.com/Pages/index2.html
 This is a GREAT site for effective images.  The powerful
 photographs would be great for students to look at while studying
 the Civil Rights Movement.  Although, it doesn’t have much as far
 as good reference material for writing a paper, it should be used
 to relate the reality of what was happening at the time.

 http://4civilrights.4anything.com/
 This site is split up into seven different informational areas.
 Those areas include The Struggle & the Movement, Principals,
 Peacekeepers, Hate Crimes, Pride, Her Light Still Shines, and
 Reruns.  Some of the links were under construction and there were
 links to other topics as well.  This site was a bit more sporadic,
 but good if the students have time to pick their way through it.

 This is an AMAZING site for kids to see what’s out there today, and
 to see how other kids are getting involved in current racial
 issues.  It also deals with aspects of the Civil Rights Movement
 that would draw kids into learning more about it.  It provides an
 audio history of the civil rights movement in five Southern
 communities and the music of those times.

 This site deals more with the organizations, movements and actions
 that took place rather than individuals in the movement.  The site
 has 4 sections or links.  They consist of Civil Rights
 Organizations since 1945, Protest and Civic Unrest, Civil Rights
 Laws and legislation since 1945, and African American Leaders since
 1945.

 This is a very good site that consists of reviews of a variety of
 different black leaders of the Civil Rights era.  This shows the
 differences and similarities between the different leaders of
 organizations such as King, Malcom X, Eldridge Cleaver, and Leroi
 Jones.

 This site discusses the representation and oppression of black
 women in the Civil Rights Movement.  It also discusses the
 perspective of individuals of Malcom X and the Black Panthers
 concerning black women. The strength of the Movement is associated
 with men, not women such as Angela Davis, Rosa Parks and Ellis
 Baker. They have received minimal national recognition for their
 actions.

 http://www.wearyfeet.com/
 This site is basically a book review for a book entitled Weary
 Feet, Rested Souls.  It does a very good job at introducing the
 book and the author.  There is an autobiographical sketch of the
 author.  The site is very well put together, and it would be very
 good to use if a teacher decided to read this book for class.

 http://www.san.beck.org/WP26-MLKing.html
 This is a GREAT source for information on Dr. King.  Though there
 are no pictures or interactive activities, but this would be a
 great source for a term paper.  It takes the reader through a
 chronological journey through Dr. Kings stride towards freedom.
