Civil Rights Project Help

The 8th grade students at BC High are all supposed to research and prepare a project based on a Civil Rights topic. While you are required to have 2 sources (database and book), you are not limited to those. Here are some helpful sites/resources for the 8th grade social studies project. Your goal is to have a professional, interactive, and informational exhibit for our museum, so use these to supplement the required materials to achieve this goal.
