Description
Plessy v Ferguson, Jim Crow Laws, Beginning of Civil Rights Movement, & how "Separate Was Inherently Unequal" student gallery and reading assignment.
This eye-opening resource is included in the Civil Rights Movement Unit Bundle!
In this activity, students learn about the controversial 1896 case of Homer Plessy, his role in Plessy v. Ferguson, the creation of Jim Crow Laws across the south, and the eventual 1954 ruling in Brown v. the Board of Education. Then, students complete a digital gallery assignment where they examine six different segregated spaces to learn more about the Supreme Court's claim that "separate was inherently unequal" in the landmark Brown v. the Board of Education case. A physical gallery walk option is also included! Then, students culminate the activity with a formal writing assignment where they attempt to answer the overarching question, "How was separate inherently unequal."
A teacher key and a Google 1:1 version are included!
Couple this activity with the best-selling Jim Crow origins, background reading, and primary source activity here!
