My cherubs had a lot of trouble understanding the Civil Rights Movement. Among a few other resources, I found pictures to be most effective to add to the unit we did. They showed the students that in fact, these events did happen. They had a hard time believing people could do such terrible things. It was also good to include successes! SO! Instead of a mere word wall, I made a picture word wall! I'm not a huge fan of plain word walls. I think definitions or an image should join the words. Here is my Civil Rights Word Wall:
Google the word, phrase, or event you need and search the images. Aim for pictures that are at least 500x600 so your pictures are basically the same size and you won't need to re-size. Obviously, I wasn't able to do that here, so just do your best!
