segregation
This image could be used for the following state objective:
Competency Goal 3: The learner will examine how individuals can initiate change in families, neighborhoods, and communities.
3.01 Analyze changes, which have occurred in communities past and present.
3.02 Describe how individuals, events, and ideas change over time.
This photo shows a sign for a "colored waiting room", which is something that students may not recognize. The teacher should explain to students that before the Civil Rights Movement, many parts of the United States were segregated and African Americans were not allowed to interact with whites. The students couldwrite a reaction to this in their journals, comparing and contrasting that time period with the present. Would this ever happen today? What would people do if a sign like this was seen our our town?
This image will probably give students a sense of injustice, and it would also be a great way to introduce a unit about Martin Luther King, Jr. or the Civil Rights Movement.
