description

Explore civil rights in North Carolina through an interactive online teacher workshop filled with valuable information and ideas for teaching. The first three sessions focus on the experiences of African Americans and American Indians in the state from 1830 to 1980. In each of these sessions, a history of civil rights is interspersed with detailed articles on an event, an issue, and a biography of a person important to the period. In the fourth session, you’ll explore the history of civil rights activism of other groups in North Carolina. The last session investigates the current and future state of civil rights. An interactive time line and oral histories are included.
