The Civil Rights Movement didn’t begin in the 1950s and 1960s. The groundwork was laid a generation before. In this lesson, students explore how Black leaders fought for civil rights in the Progressive Era and the challenges they faced. Students discover that change comes in many forms as they compare and evaluate Black organizations and their different philosophies for gaining equality.

I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
