Racism and Resistance in the North During the Civil Rights Movement

Did you know that the biggest Civil Rights Movement demonstration of the 1960s happened in New York City?

Did you know that at the same time people were pressing for desegregation in Montgomery and Birmingham, they were doing so in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Boston?

Scholar Brian Jones, in conversation with Teaching for Black Lives co-editor Jesse Hagopian, will shed light on the history of the Civil Rights Movement in the North and ways that those stories can be included in the curriculum. Jones recently worked on the New York City Civil Rights History Project.
