Free Multimedia Lesson Plan on the Civil Rights Movement

Looking for a meaningful and unique lesson for Black History Month? Check out Integrating with All Deliberate Speed, a comprehensive multimedia unit on the Civil Rights Movement with video clips, a timeline, photographs, historical documents and other primary resources, available for free at www.visionaryproject.org/teacher.

"Integrating with All Deliberate Speed" was developed for middle and high school teachers by the National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP) and K. Wise Whitehead—the 2006 Gilder Lehrman Preserve America Maryland History Teacher of the Year.

Each lesson takes your students behind the scenes of the Movement through first-person accounts by historic figures, including Coretta Scott King, James Meredith, Andrew Young, Dorothy Height, Bob Moses, and Constance Baker Motley. Through their personal stories, students will gain rare access to the private realities behind public, historic events such as the 1963 March on Washington; the violent confrontation known as “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Alabama; the 1964 Freedom Summer voting rights campaign; James Meredith’s integration of the University of Mississippi; the Brown v. Board of Education legal battle, and much more.


Use the lessons as is, or incorporate the resources into your existing lesson plan, to provide your students with a rare and powerful point of view: history as told by the people who lived it.
