Emmett Till: A Series of Four Lessons

A four-lesson collection, designed to be used with the film, The Murder of Emmett Till, provides the historical context viewers need to understand the implications for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s as well as today's civil rights struggles. Students examine primary and secondary source materials to gain an understanding of how choices people made contributed to the event. The unit ends with a project that memorializes Emmett Till.
