Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Mr. Nance mentions a number of individuals in the video who were part of the protest: Bill Clay, Norman Seay, Percy Green, and Charles and Marion Odom. Have students select one of those individuals to research, learn more about, and then share their learning with the class or as part of a journal entry.
- Discuss the impact of public protests such as this. Do they still make a difference today? Can students think of current events where such protests have made a difference?
- Provide the video as an option for students researching their own project or video focused on discrimination, segregation, civil rights, or a similar topic.
