Civil Rights Discourse Module

Can America overcome its unequal founding?

Since its founding, the Constitution has been used, challenged, and made more perfect to extend and protect civil rights to groups whose rights have not always been protected. Explore the Emancipation Proclamation, Emancipation amendments, Brown v. the Board of Education, and other texts and events that have shaped the evolution of American civil rights. Prepare to engage in discourse on what civil rights means today and what they could be in the future.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
