Topic/Stimulus: School desegregation efforts go back to the late 19th century but had largely been unsuccessful due to the Plessy decision. Beginning in the 1930s, the NAACP began prepping for a Supreme Court test case that would become Brown v. the Board of Education, 1954. Your goal is to arrange the hexes so that connections between the various people/places/events is evident. Not all hexes may have more than one connection.

Task 1 Directions: ● Names, events and places associated with the Brown decision are written on the hex handouts. Cut

out the hexes. ● With a partner group the hexes in such as way that wherever the sides of one hex touch another

there is connection. (i.e. if only one side touches there is one connection, if two sides connect then there must be a connection between all the topics).

● If you need a quick refresher, look over the two slideshows from last spring.

Task 2 Directions: After connecting your hexes, identify 3-4 major themes/ideas/take-aways that you notice in your hex web. These could be the hexes with the most connections or hexes that have only a few connections but are especially important. Document your themes/connections here.

Segregation was in the center of the hexegone and it connected to little rock nine and brown vs. board for schools, and martin luther king jr and NAACP, and fergen marshall.

3 major themes I noticed were brown vs. board showed the segregation….

Significance of little rock nine was the first black students to attend an all white school, showing intergration.

Plessly vs furgenoson said segregation was constitulan if it was seperate but equal. Which connects to the Dorthy case because it shows the effect on Plesssly vs Ferguson which showed that things were not really equal.
