Brown+vs.+Board+of+Education

=Brown V. Board =

[|Separate Is Not Equal: Brown V. Board of Education.] is from the Smithsonian Museum of National History. The website focuses on the court decision Brown V. Board of Education affects on schools throughout the country. School desegregation became a domino effect after the black and minority communities had backing by the supreme court. It provides many useful resources: teacher guides, video field trips, and projects. The video field trips are centered around the 2004 exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum of National History. Very unique source! It allows students to "relive" the now closed exhibition. Middle school students would be very interested. It also is easy to navigate and is not very distracting. Smithsonian is very non-bias, government site, that objective is to educate. No advertisements or "pledges for donations" show that the purpose is strictly to educate. (RP)



=Little Rock Nine and Brown v. Board of Education =

 This [|website] is a great source because it has very many different features and information. This website has information about southern school desegregation during the time period of 1957-1962. Most of the information again, highlights the two main events of school desegregation including the Little Rock Nine and Brown v. Board of Education. This is a very educational website because it has background information on these events, as well as video clips and music snippets. This website also has images highlighting the events that took place over these times. I think this is a very useful educational site with no bias because it is from PBS and has a lot of good visuals for students to learn from. - S.M
