write three brief video entries and two book report journal about Civil Right Movement.

I’m studying for my History class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

there are five small part of this assignment, three video entries and two book review journal. I will explain them separately.

1. watch a video then follow the requirement to write an entry( about 1-2 paragraph, half page long.)

This documentary series, produced between 1987 and 1990 remains the foremost record of the civil rights era, and one of the most important lens through which many people view the Civil Rights movement. Your entry should focus on how the film presented this period of the Civil Rights Era. What did you learn from the film? What aspects of the movement were emphasized in the episode? Were there other views or subjects covered in your readings that were not included? What interpretation of the Civil Rights movement did you take away from this episode?

3. watch the last video then follow the requirement to write an entry( about 1-2 paragraph, half page long.)

same requirement as the other two video, video link: https://youtu.be/aXG9lqr6qk4

this is a three-episode video series, but do not write a whole article for three video, I need three separate entries for each episode.

4. book review and document analysis.read the book then follow the questions and instructions below to write a 2 paragraph journal ( book required:John Lewis, Andrew Ayden, and Nate Powell, MARCH Trilogy(Graphic Novel)2016. ISBN978-1603093958, you can easily find free e-version online, here is the link I found: March read )( about half page long)

In March, John Lewis recalls his response to the killing of Emmett Till with these words:

“As for me I was shaken to the core by the killing of Emmett Till. I was fifteen, black, at the edge of my own manhood, just like him. He could have been me. That could have been me, beaten, tortured, dead at the bottom of a river. It had only been a year since I had been so elated at the Brown decision. Now I felt like a fool…

…By the end of the year I was chewing myself up with questions and frustrations and, yes, anger – anger not at white people in particular but at the system that encouraged and allowed this kind of hatred and inhumanity to exist. I couldn’t accept the way thinks were, I just couldn’t. I loved my parents mightily, but I could not live the way they did, taking the world as it was presented to them and doing the best they could with it.”

question:

Why did the murder of Till affect Lewis, and others of his generation so profoundly? How did it change his response to the Brown vs Board of Education decision, passed just one year earlier? Where does he direct his anger? Is this a fair reaction?

5. unit discussion, based on the video and the book to write a 2-3 paragraph long discussion journal to answer the following question( longer than half page or one page length.)

In this unit, we followed the experience of John Lewis as he grew up in the segregated South and, inspired by the protests of the 1950s, became a student leader in the civil rights movement. Part of a new generation of young African Americans, Lewis and his colleagues were not afraid of the consequences of fighting to end the system that constrained their lives and opportunities. Yet, Lewis also makes his debts clear to activists and mentors who inspired and guided him like James Lawson and Ella Baker. In this way, the “classic phase” of the civil rights movement shows its roots back into the “long civil rights movements.”

What sparked a new phase of the civil rights movement in the 1950 and 1960s? In what ways did it draw upon existing kinds of organization and activism? In what ways did it draw on new currents of determination and newly empowered activists? Did the movement face greater obstacles from what Theoharis calls “redneck” or “polite racism?”
