1. AGENDA Close up debate Timeline activity
Study guide: stay up to date with the reading  (hint wink nudge)
HOMEWORK: DUE TOMORROW – CLOSURE AND ONE OF THE TWO MONUMENT ACTIVITIES (QUOTE OR DESIGN YOUR OWN MONUMENT)

2. QUICK DISCUSSION
Why now? These monuments have been up for many decades… why try to take them down now? (Think of things that have been happening over the past couple of years. Think of the historical context!)

3. UNIT TWO: CIVIL RIGHTS

4. TIMELINE ACTIVITY
In your groups, put the photos in order of the decade in which you believe they were taken.
You don’t have to predict the exact year  just the decade
Write the number of the photo where you think it belongs on the timeline
Include a short statement as to why you think it belongs in that decade

18. THE RISE OF THE KKK Formed in 1866 Lynching and scare tactics
Civil War notes
THE RISE OF THE KKK
Formed in 1866
Why 1866?
Lynching and scare tactics
States in the South started shifting back to Democratic control
- the KKK formed to put fear into freedmen in the south - lots of lynching and scare tactics - slowly, all states started shifting from Republican control to the Democratic party. Due to job restrictions, most slaves ended up farming again. that leads into sharecropping

19. Kuklos – a Greek word meaning “inner circle”
RISE OF THE Ku Klux Klan
Kuklos – a Greek word meaning “inner circle”

20. KKK: UNIFORM http://www. motherjones
X in the middle – sometimes a cross. With a drop of blood in the middle to represent “Jesus’ crucifixion and the blood he shed for the white Aryan race” whom they see as “God’s chosen people”
***WE WILL TALK *AT.LENGTH.* ABOUT THE KKK IN OUR CIVIL RIGHTS UNIT.
With a partner, discuss the purpose of their uniform. It was intentionally chosen to look like this!

21. KKK: Continuities and changes over time
With a partner, predict –
What about the KKK has stayed the same since they began? (think: appearance, values, etc)
What has changed?
Kk – kuklos means inner circle – so that you can

22. LYNCHING Quick discussion:
Does lynching serve a specific purpose? Is it different than ‘regular’ murder? How so?
*Lynching = hanging

23. Civil War notes
LYNCHING
According to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People):
there must be evidence that someone was killed;
the killing must have occurred illegally;
three or more persons must have taken part in the killing; and
the killers must have claimed to be serving justice or tradition.
NAACP: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

24. LYNCHING
Became a popular way or resolving some of the anger that whites had in relation to the free blacks
If they thought a black violated a Jim Crow law, rather than take them to court, they’d beat him/her up and lynch him/her
Another way to show white power/control over blacks

25. LYNCHING From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred 3,446 were black
Not all of the lynchings were ever recorded (for obvious reasons)
3,446 were black
1,297 were white
Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti-lynching

26. BILLIE HOLIDAY – “STRANGE FRUIT”
Civil War notes
BILLIE HOLIDAY – “STRANGE FRUIT”
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop
NAACP: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
