1. 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?

2. 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...

3. 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?

4. 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.

5. 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?

6. 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.  Explain what themes are explored in this exhibit and who is used to demonstrate these themes.  What were some of the events on display? How did they demonstrate change?
