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!”
