In the semester where were talking about the Civil Rights Movement. Weve been looking at that for a couple of sessions now. The interesting thing about teaching the Civil Rights Movement is that its perhaps the era that most americans think they know the most about. Weve talked a little bit about this and we will talk some more about this. Just because folks think they can quote a few sentences from Martin Luther kings speech in washington or know a little bit about rosa parks is civil disobedience on the bus. Even having some visual images in our mind of people being brutalized by fire hoses and dogs. Theres a real kind of visual narrative that comes to all of this. We often think that we know a lot about this movement. One of the challenges for those of us who are learning the movement and connecting it to this much longer history of a black activism was, is theres a point where we almost have to unlearn some stuff before we can learn some stuff. Thats what i our reading is for today
