3/6 - 3/7 Class Update

Yesterday, we watched a video on the murder of Emmett Till and answered questions about the movie. His murder was the spark of the Civil Rights movement by creating anger in African-Americans and white Northerners, which encouraged them to make sure Emmett Till's fate didn't happen to anyone else.

Today, we learned about the Montgomery Bus Boycott and why it was successful. We read five different sources to find reasons why it was successful.
