Teaching the Long Civil Rights Movement (original) (raw)

This chapter advocates for a redefined approach to teaching the Civil Rights Movement by utilizing the concept of a 'Long Civil Rights Movement' as proposed by Jacquelyn Dowd Hall. It emphasizes the need for educators to move beyond traditional narratives focused solely on landmark events and figures, encouraging the integration of technology and diverse perspectives to create a meaningful and transformative curriculum. By adopting this broader framework, educators can foster critical thinking and a deeper understanding of civil rights in contemporary society, aligning educational practices with modern pedagogical strategies such as TPACK.
