You have all heard about Jim Crow laws from readings in Language Arts, To Kill a Mockingbird, and in 5th grade when learning about the 16th St. Church bombing. Schools were some of the most affected areas of Jim Crow laws. YOU go to school! Look at the Jim Crow laws about education and be able to provide a few examples of what these laws stated. Why would school be a place where segregation laws were applied? How would schools be a good place to reinforce segregationist ideas? Why would these states want segregation?
In 5th grade y’all traveled to Birmingham and visited the 16th St. Baptist Church, where the four girls were killed in a tragic bombing. How does this exhibit resonate with you as a Jew? Think about the structure of the exhibit, the light, the dark, and the visuals...
Civil Rights activists were trained in nonviolent resistance. Be able to provide a few ways in which these activists nonviolently protested. Do we still see these types of protests and practices today? How so? Where have we seen these protests in recent days?
Civil and Human Rights go far beyond the United States of America. These rights apply to the world! After the Global Human Rights Movement exhibit there were a number of images and readings. The United Nations has a significant number of human rights. Provide one example of a human right identified by the UN and why did you choose this human right? Explain in significant detail what this human right mean to you and how it impacts your life.
Look at the “Ethical Footprint” part of the exhibit in the Global Human Rights Movement. Select an item that you see and that exhibit (chocolate, flowers, soccer, clothing, cell phones, etc) How are the human rights violated in the production of this product. How do you now feel about the production of these items and human rights? Have your opinions/thoughts changed? How so?
Sports have always been a place where barriers have been broken. This exhibit looks at how athletes have used their platform to affect social change.

It would be an understatement to say that many things changed after World War II. Like World War I, much of Europe was destroyed by the fighting and bombings that had taken place over the years. Borders needed to be redrawn. Reparations needed to be paid. New governments needed to be created/elected. The world was in shambles. Africa, Asia, and Europe were rattled and some parts of these continents rendered useless. Many countries in the western part of Europe returned to the same governments and borders they had prior to the war...

Hey #davis7, I am unable to be there today as I am stuck in New York City because of flight problems. I know you miss me even though I do not miss you. Here's what y'all got today!
On Thursday, y'all read about the Treaty of Versailles, y'all watched a movie about the treaty, and then y'all read about Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech and the League of Nations. It's too bad the League of Nations failed too, huh? Oh well...Gotta move on Woodrow Wilson!...So, World War I ends and the League of Nations is accepted by a lot of countries in Europe, but NOT the United States. The League of Nations actually fails big time too because of what happened in Europe from 1920-1930...I would like you to read the following part of the World Wars Doc together as a class:
Contributing Factors to World War II: Treaty of Versailles, Militarism Part II, League of Nations Failed, Germany invades Poland... When finished, please watch the following flick and answer the following Q for a HW grade: Do you think World War I and the results lead to World War II? Explain why/why not. Please have this turned in either by the end of the period or when you come to class for Day 2 this week...It can be handwritten or typed...DETAILS!!!!

Now, choose THREE of the Q’s below and answer them on a separate sheet. You have the rest of class to do this and if you finish early, turn your answers in...If you do not finish these Q's, you will turn them in on Monday for a HW grade!
