Debate instructions:

You have been divided into two groups.           Group A will support SNCC and what evolved into the Black Power           movement. Group B will support the SCLC (Martin Luther King, Jr.'s           movement). To participate in the debate, you need to research both           positions. The required work will help you. Who will you be in this           debate? What character will you pick? It does not have to be an           actual historical figure. You can be, for example, a white SNCC           worker, or a Black Panther working in the breakfast program. Stay in           character for your responses because each response is part of the           debating.

The initial post will be at least 300           words. You are then required to continue the debate by posting           responses to the arguments of the opposing group. At least two           responses must be at least 200 words. Respond as many times as you wish. Your two best           responses will be graded. Do not make           assumptions. Instead, assume the historical role of someone who lived           in the United States during this period. Whatever you write should be           in character. Be creative! Remember that everything you           argue, although in character, must be grounded in academic research           and must demonstrate you have done the required work.<o:p></o:p>

Group A: Your last name begins with the letter           N-Z.

Group B: Your last name begins with the letter           A-M.
