All About ThurgoodMarshall
Your class now has to follow the new rules listed below! Read each one and discuss
what you think about them: Rule 1: Only people with blonde hair can eat in the cafeteria. Rule 2: Everyone with long hair must dodouble homework every night.
Rule 3: Only students with blue eyes can use erasers.
Many years ago, the United States had laws called Jim Crow laws that were unfair to African-Americans.
the word unfair means
treating people in a way that favors some over others
These laws also prevented them from eating in the same restaurants or drinking from the same water fountains as white people.
This is an example of what a restaurant looked like during segregation. You had to use a certain door depending on the color of your skin.
segregation means
keeping people of different races separate from each other
Schools and other public places were segregated.
Places in the United States used to be very different from how they are today because of segregation.
The United States allowed for “separate but equal” public facilities, including public schools in the United States
What does it mean for something to be separate but equal?
Discuss this scenario:
Both classrooms have books and a teacher so students in both classrooms have equal opportunity for success.
Classroom 1 Classroom 2There are 25 students and 1 teacher. Each student has a new book. The school is within 8 miles of the students’ houses.
There are 40 students and 1 teacher. Every 3 students have to share a book that is several years old. The school is 30 miles away from some of the students’ houses.
Do you agree? Why or why not?
It took many years for changes to be made to the laws. It took even longer
to change the way people thought and acted towards people who looked
different from them. It also took many brave people who
dedicated their lives to helping black Americans gain the same civil
rights as white Americans.
Thurgood
Marshall was
one of these
brave people!
Hi! I’m Thurgood Marshall. I used the
courts to fight for civil rights.
