The Civil Rights Movement

Instructions #1

Civil Rights Movements

For this discussion, you must make two postings. The first, must be a reflection of no less than 200 words addressing ONE of the questions below. Be sure to include the question # in your post so your classmates can see to which question you chose to respond. Your comment must be an observation, reaction, or comment of substance. Then, you must read another Peer’s post in the group and respond it. Your response to another student’s posting must be a thoughtful and constructive response (such as if you were having a conversation in the same room with them). Also, please conclude your first post with a question for your classmates. Your response should address the substance of their comment with a constructive or thoughtful reflection on their point. Your grade will be based on the quality of your reflections.

Instructions #2:

Below are two links, Martin Luther King Jr's 1963 speech in D.C. and an interview recorded not long before he was assassinated, watch them in order. Compare and contrast the thoughts and ideals MLK expressed in both clips. How do his observations relate to the arguments for human rights we have covered this semester? What changed, or did not change, about his perception of the Civil Rights Movement in the latter interview? Watch both clips in their entirety. Write two paragraphs or more that engage the prompts while also making note of specific information from the clips, and materials we have covered this semester (i.e., Human Rights, The International Civil Rights Movement and so on) in your response.

If you do not note specific information from the clips and provide analysis of it, you will not receive any points!
