Sam completed a chapter assessment test for homework which we reviewed in class. She answered the vast majority of the questions correctly and ,in discussion, demonstrated an understanding of the material. We then reviewed the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Act and discussed the role of Dr. King in advancing these laws through Congress. In connection with this discussion, we watched a short 8 minute video on the Birmingham protests that included news clips capturing the evils of segregation and the unjustified violence perpetrated against peaceful protesters. During the second session,we reviewed the US Supreme Court case of Shelby vs Holder (2013) that had the effect of significantly weakening the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We also began to read Dr.King's famed essay entitled" Letter from a Birmingham Jail" written while Dr.King remained in jailed as a result of the protest. I prepared and distributed a study sheet with questions on all this material and Brown vs Board of Education. For homework, I assigned reading Part I of Dr. King's "letter" and answering questions 1-8 on the study guide.
