PART II: A CAMPAIGN FOR CIVIL RIGHTS TODAY
Research recent articles on discrimination or civil rights issues. Choose a group of people that would benefit from a campaign to end a particular type of discrimination or to ensure the group’s civil rights. Once your teacher has approved your selection, prepare a presentation for your class that outlines a campaign for your chosen group. Your presentation should answer the following:
How are the civil rights of your group being denied or ignored? Use two to three specific examples that demonstrate how members of the group are being denied or refused equal rights.
What changes are needed to ensure civil rights for your group? Establish three goals for your campaign and prioritize them.
What individuals, institutions, or groups can affect the necessary changes?
What individuals, institutions, or groups would work against these changes?
Do local, state, or federal laws need to be enforced, changed, or written?
How do you plan to draw attention to the need for change?
What individuals, institutions, or groups will join your protest actions?
Determine what form of nonviolent protest you will use. How will you organize and implement the protest? How will you decide if and when a protest has achieved one or more of your stated goals?
