Dr. Robert Morrow
Civil Rights Movement Assignment
Due: September 22
(September 28 for Monday Evening Class)
Follow these steps to complete this assignment:
1. Select one of the civil rights activists’ primary sources from Takin’ It to the
Streets that we read for this week:
• Anne Moody, The Jackson Sit-In
• Letters From Mississippi
• Sheyann Webb, Selma
2. Write one paragraph that shows how that activist’s experience fits with
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s concept of nonviolent resistance. Below are a
questions to help you focus your analysis:
• Did the activist’s experience fit with the characteristics of nonviolent
resistance?
• Was the activist able to meet the demands that King said nonviolent
resistance demanded?
• Was there any sign that nonviolent resistance worked as King said it
would?
3. Type up your paragraph and be sure that it conforms to these rules:
• It must be typed, double-spaced, with your name at the top of the page.
• It must begin with a topic sentence that in one sentence answers the
question.
• It must explain why you answer the question the way you do by using
specific facts from the activist’s document.
• It must use the “evidence sandwich” approach (see below) to show how
the facts support the topic sentence.
• It must be written entirely in your own words. USE NO QUOTATIONS.
• It must have be at least six sentences in length.
• Every sentence should relate to the topic sentence.
•
The evidence sandwich technique works like this for each piece of
evidence you use:
• It begins by identifying the source of the evidence. For Moody’s and
Webb’s documents, that requires only explaining who each of these
people was at the beginning of the paragraph. For the “Letters from
•
•
Mississippi” documents, you must explain who the writers were in
general and then be specific about which one you have taken each
piece of evidence from
It then states what the evidence is. What fact or facts are given?
It then explains why this fact or facts relate(s) to and support(s) the
topic sentence.
4. You must submit your paper on Blackboard:
• The paper is due by 11:00 p.m. on September 22 (September 28 for the
Monday night class)
• Submit your paper in a format compatible with Microsoft Word for Mac
2011. Note: Rich Text Format is a common format that is compatible
with this standard.
• The link for submitting it is under the Writing Assignments section in a
folder labeled “Civil Rights Movement Assignment.” In that folder is a
link labeled “Submit the Civil Rights Movement Assignment.”
• If something goes wrong submitting it on Blackboard, e-mail me a copy
as an MS Word file.
• The grades of all late papers will be lowered two full letter grades (for
example, an A paper becomes a C paper if it is late).

NAACP conducted a boycott of the downtown stores inJackson, I had been one
of Salterh most faithful canvassers and church speakers. During the last week of
school, he told me that sit-in demonstrations were about to start inJackson and
that he wanted me to be the spokesman for a team that would sit-in at’Woolwortht lunch counter. The tr,vo other demonstrators would be classmates of

When these young interns got older, I thought, they would be the best doctors

SNCC: FOU NDI NG STATEMENT
The eruption of sit-ins throughout the South led to the calling of a general meet-
ing of black student leaders in the spring of 1960. Under the leadership of
SCLC’s Ella Baker, these students formed their own organization, the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), with Baker as executive secretary.
