The Freedom Fighters教案
(students practise for a few minutes and the teacher may join in their discussion and help them. finally ask some students to answer the questions one by one.)
suggested answers:
1. blacks were not treated equally. the south had its own laws to continue the separation of blacks and whites. mixed-race marriages were forbidden by law. there were separate sections for blacks in public places. blacks were not allowed to get into hotels, schools or libraries. black children were educated in separate schools. black people had no right to vote.
2. it tells us that thousands of black people marched on washington d.c., the capital of the usa in the summer of 1963,when martin luther king, jr. spoke to them at a meeting. his speech—“i have a dream”—spoke out the minds of the black people. inspired by his speech, people continued to struggle and succeeded in the end. soon he and his speech became known to the people all over the world.
3. he wanted black people to be treated equally as the whites. black people should not be separated but should be treated with respect in the same way as other people. they should have the right to vote.
4. in december 1955, king organized a boycott of the bus company and succeeded after 381 days. later he led a new revolution to improve the housing condition for blacks in birmingham. in 1963, he led the march on washington d.c. as a result of that in the following year a new civil rights act was passed and in 1965 a new voting right bill became law.
