About The Civil Rights Movement
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit sits in the Americas strand of History. The listed resources follow the story from the 1940s and 1950s through to Black Power and the later 1960s and 1970s. Much of it is mind maps, so you can see how events and people connect.
- The Civil Rights Movement Mind Map groups education, riots and strikes, acts and organisations, and opens with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
- The Black Civil Rights in the 1960s Mind Map covers the Freedom Riders, the Washington March, Birmingham, Selma, the Voting Rights Bill and Freedom Summer.
- People are covered too, with maps on Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.
Where to start
Begin with the overview maps, such as the Civil Rights Movement Mind Map and Black Civil Rights in the 1950s. They give you the order of events. Then move to the Black Civil Rights in the 1960s map for the big campaigns.
Next, go deeper on one theme. For education, try the Separate But Equal Movie Flashcards, which cover de jure and de facto segregation, Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP. For Black Power, use the Black Power Mind Map, which looks at Malcolm X and the Black Panthers.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The quiz Key Events in the Civil Rights Movement and The Vietnam War starts with the Brown v. Board of Education case. Check your answers against the map, and note what you missed.
- Read an overview map.
- Take a quiz on the same topic.
- Go back to the map for any gaps.
- Run through flashcards to fix dates and terms.
Exam practice
The listed resources mention GCSE History, A-level History, AP US History and AP US Government. The African American Civil Rights Essay Plans note sets out an argument on the Supreme Court and civil rights, which is useful if you want to see how an essay is built. Teachers can pick maps and quizzes to set as starter or revision tasks.
Choose one resource that matches what you are studying this week and open it. Then add your own map or flashcards for the parts you want to remember.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Civil Rights Movement Mind Map or Black Civil Rights in the 1960s. Both give a clear overview of key events, acts and organisations. Once you know the order of events, move on to a quiz or a flashcard deck on one theme, such as education or Black Power.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover campaigns and events such as the Freedom Riders, Selma and the Montgomery bus boycott. They also cover people, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks and Angela Davis, plus Black Power, legislation and Little Rock.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE History, A-level History, AP US History and AP US Government. Most of the material is aimed at school students, so it suits those courses. Check the title and content of each resource against your own specification before relying on it.
Is there anything beyond Black civil rights?
Yes. The page also lists resources on Women's Civil Rights, Hispanics Civil rights and Native American Civil Rights, including a quiz on Native American Civil Rights and essay plans on Native America. There is also a mind map called Gay American Rights.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource, such as an overview map, and see whether it covers your topic in a branch. You can also make your own mind map, quiz or flashcards to fill the gap, then use it for revision.
