Selected reading - Books on John F. Kennedy (JFK)
Selected reading - Books on the US Civil Right Movement, and Martin Luther King Jr
Because of when I was born, I still remember some of the left over "social issues" still prevalent in my elders' way of thinking. My kids cannot relate to this at all. All they have ever known is that 'all men are created equal'. The story of Ruby Bridges (for example) is unfathomable to them. They had a hard time believing that that was the way people behaved!!
My boys added to their Modern American History lapbook as well:
Civil Rights elements for the Modern American History Lapbook. with "a letter to my congressman regarding Civil Rights" AND "What my Civil Rights Book would be titled and three key points it would cover."
A letter to my congressman addressing Civil Rights and Racial Equality
