 The latter half of the 20th century saw many of the nation's minority groups taking a stand to ensure that the declaration "all men are created equal" became not just an oft-quoted sentiment but a firm reality. Beginning with the valiant efforts of those involved in the African-American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, students will learn how the push for equality in American society crossed over to other ethnic groups, women and the disabled. This vivid program covers major figures, events and legislation of the day through the use of archival footage and interviews with renowned experts, all of which provide a detailed account of the movements that pushed America closer to its pledge of "one nation, with liberty and justice for all." Part of the United States History Origins to 2000 DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
