[|//Letter from a Birmingham Jail//] Martin Luther King (primary source) Writen April 16, 1963 in response to the argument that the battle for civil rights should take place solely in the courts. King argues that without civil disobedience and direct action true civil rights could never be achieved. He states that not only is civil disobedience justified in the face of unjust laws but it is, in fact, a moral responsibility. This website has wonderful lesson plans for MLK documents, including the Letter from a Birmingham Jail: []

 * RESOURCES FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS**

Civil Rights Webquest [] This is an interactive site that explores many important people during the Civil Rights movement. The site shows how African-Americans faced hardship in order to gain equality. 2. From Thomas Malcolm __Abraham Lincoln's Crossroads []__ //Abraham Lincoln’s Crossroads// is an educational game based on the traveling exhibition //Lincoln: The Constitution & the Civil War//, which debuted at the National Constitution Center in June 2005. The online game is intended for advanced middle- and high-school students. It invites them to learn about Lincoln’s leadership by exploring the political choices he made. An animated Lincoln introduces a situation, asks for advice and prompts players to decide the issue for themselves, before learning the actual outcome. At the end of the game, players discover how frequently they predicted Lincoln’s actions. A Resources Page keyed to each chapter provides links to relevant Websites on Lincoln and the Civil War, permitting students to explore issues in more depth. One section focuses on Lincoln's executive order calling for African-American exncipation. Students will examine the pros and cons Lincoln considered before making his most monumental decision.

3. From Jacakie McGrath __Without Sanctuary__ [|www.withoutsanctuary.org] This site is blocked by pnwboces. The site is appropriate for high school students. It contains postcards from various time periods of lynchings and the history behind each particular lynching. The site shows how often and to how many men, women, and children of various races this happened and how people were bystanders in these cruel events.
