March Toward Justice

In this sequencing worksheet, students place five major Civil Rights Movement events in chronological order, including Rosa Parks’s refusal to give up her seat, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the Selma to Montgomery march, and the passing of the Civil Rights Act. After ordering them, students write sentences explaining how each event connects to Dr. King’s leadership and his message of equality and peaceful action. This task strengthens historical understanding, reading comprehension, and the ability to link events to broader themes of justice.
