 You may have heard of The Diary of Anne Frank , a  personal journal that brought to countless readers a young Jewish girl’s  experience in hiding during the Holocaust. Those who read Anne Frank’s  account learn the reality of genocide in a manner that brings to life  the historical event.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several organizations promoted  journaling to encourage documentation of the experience of everyday life  during a major historical event. Perhaps you or someone you know has  kept a journal at some point. In this course, you will use an online  journal to capture your ideas about social movements and history.

 

  • Select an individual you learned about in this week’s  resources someone who served as a leader in the civil rights movement.  Explain why you believe they were an effective or ineffective leader.
  • Describe one specific issue from within the civil rights movement  (e.g., equal pay, access to transportation, access to education).
  • Within the specific issue that you have chosen, describe what role violence played. Explain whether the violence was justified.
  • Describe an example of a change that occurred with your chosen issue as a result of the civil rights movement.

Include at least three relevant quotes from this week’s resources  that support your ideas. Place the quote inside quotation marks [“].  After the quote, include the chapter and page number where you found the  quote within parentheses.
