Echoes of Equality

In this worksheet, students respond to a reflective writing prompt that asks them to analyze how the Civil Rights Movement continues to influence justice movements today. Students must compose a well-developed paragraph using examples, reasoning, and connections between past and present activism. The worksheet encourages learners to think critically about methods used by Civil Rights leaders, the values that shaped the movement, and the modern tools-such as social media or community organizing-that echo the spirit of the 1960s. Writing their response helps students strengthen their analytical writing, historical understanding, and ability to make evidence-based connections. This activity supports deeper comprehension of continuity and change within U.S. history and civic engagement.
