The author’s impressions……“I hope you will seriously consider sharing your wonderful civil rights unit. The stations so creatively engaged students and helped them understand the complexities of the struggle for civil rights. You’ve got wonderful photos that document student learning in a unit that should be replicated in other schools. Tell your story!”
