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! Why would the government want schools to be places where segregation laws were applied? How could schools further separate whites and blacks? How could schools be a good place to reinforce segregationist ideas? Do you think segregation still exists today in the United States in some form or fashion?
Civil and Human Rights go far beyond the United States of America. These rights apply to the world! What do you think are the three most important human rights from the Declaration of Human Rights. Why did you choose these human rights? Explain in significant detail what this human right means to you and how it impacts your life and others.
Sports have always been a place where barriers have been broken. Explain how athletes have had an impact on Civil Rights. You must use Jesse Owens and Tommie Smith & John Carlos’ example in your explanation. You may use other athletes as well. Do you think Smith and Carlos should have made a political statement during the Olympic Games? Do you think they should have made their statements during the national anthem? Explain your answers.
Is it appropriate for professional or college athletes and/or movie stars, and/or professional sports organizations to make political statements. (i.e. Major League Baseball relocating the All-Star Game based on a voting law, or how professional athletes take a knee during the national anthem, or how Kanye West ran for president in 2020) Explain your answer and provide at least one example.
