Black History Month is not just a great opportunity to teach students about the important figures from history who have stood up for equal rights, but to also teach about the significant unified movements that have been born out of recent events and clashes. This E-Book provides a comprehensive snapshot of the history of civil rights in America, profiles in courage of those who have been killed as a result of racial profiling, and the backlash that has manifested as a national (and even international) movement called #BlackLivesMatter.
