Loved this blog post! Full of wonderful primary source media on the integration of Little Rock High School. It includes some of my favorite powerful civil rights images as well as ones I had not seen before.
This topic always draws a lot of interest among high school students. After introducing the topic, I would have students explore the media and then brainstorm questions they had. Their questions would drive the research on the topic and their challenge would be to try to step into the shoes of the Central High students during this crisis and create media that told the story of that experience.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
