In Chapter 5, lesson 5, we learned about the actions of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass and Richard discussed how they were similar. Richard was encouraged to add new information to a graphic organizer on page 231 in his Inquiry Journal. We noted that African Americans have not been treated equally even after slavery ended. We read about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and how he worked to bring equality to African Americans by leading peaceful protest marches and how he refused to use violence to meet his goals. We also read about Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, both of whom worked to bring equal rights to women, and read about Dennis Banks, who helped found the American Indian movement with the goal of bringing civil rights to native Americans. We discussed the common goals of these people and Richard was encouraged to reflect about whether they earned their status, standing, and recognition as American heroes.
