Early Civil Rights Movement

In subbing for Rebecca Simmons' U.S. History class, I have come across some of her excellent ideas.

Rebecca uses 5 B's to explain the Early Civil Rights Movement.  They are:
1. Baptist Preacher (MLK Jr.)
2. Baseball
3. Brown v. Board of Edu.
4. Montgomery Bus Boycott
5. Bodyguards at School (the Little Rock, AK situation)

In doing some background research for this bit of direct instruction, I came across this great article on America, baseball and integration.  If I were to teach this in the future, I would love to have students maybe read this article on their own.
