Martin Luther King, Jr. He wanted America to move peacefully past racism and segregation, and insisted that non-violence was the best approach to change. Sadly, deep set racial prejudices and anger over past wrongs sometimes led to violence from both sides of the racial divide. Rev. King was assassinated in 1968 during a visit to Memphis in support of a strike by that city's garbage workers. Tips for completing the map, page 211 Students should
work from the full size, completed map page shown with the link from

Emphasize neatness from the beginning! Ask students to label the states highlighted on the map first. Have them use a #2 pencil or an erasable ink pen - color pencils do not work very well for small lettering. Be sure to point out that Michigan spans two areas of land. Next, have students shade the states highlighted on the map lightly with a yellow color pencil. As you review the main events of the Civil Rights movement, be sure to have students to refer to the map frequently. Many students are very fuzzy about states and cities outside their own region. |
