Establishing Prior Knowledge
1.What was the Civil Rights Movement? What role did
Martin Luther King, Jr. play in this movement?
2. Think of the ways in which prejudice and discrimination
affect its victims. If you were going to compare

coverage. The film you will see was taken as part of that TV
coverage.
