When Meg and Judy and I met last week, we shared some ideas. I thought a good way to address civil rights history throughout the year was Judy's suggestion to ask the question, "HOW DO YOU REBEL?"<br />
<br />
<b><u>Speak Truth to Power:</u></b><br />
Quaker Petition to Congress (see excerpts in attachment at end of this message <i>In White America</i>)<br />
Douglass and Downing to Andrew Johnson (<i>In White America</i>)<br />
Trotter to Woodrow Wilson (<i>In White America</i>)<br />

Great question and topic.<br />
<br />
I recently posted two music videos on my profile that deal with this very topic...."Every Day" and "If Everyone Cared"<br />
<br />
I used them both to introduce social justice writing activities earlier this school year.
