Civil Rights movements and their continuing impact on today’s society

This Learning and Evaluation Situation (LES) first allows students to review Black American (and Canadian) experiences rooted in slavery, the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era, and the following Segregation Era. Students then investigate the events and forms of resistance during the Civil Rights period that allowed real change to begin.

Students will ultimately realize how civil rights movements of the past still affect us today. They will be tasked with responding to the guiding question, “How did successful civil rights movements change the way we live together today in Canada?


All other materials can be accessed through that guide or via the enclosing folder, except for any teacher sample responses and tools that may require Social Science Teacher community access.

Pedagogical intention:

Students learn and use concepts like freedom, racism, rights, duties, and struggles. They place in time early 20th-century injustices and rights movements, then examine significant rights movements in the 1950s and 60s. Students investigate further and then explain how civil rights movements affect Canadian society.
