BREAKING NEWS – THE TEST WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY – NOT MONDAY – YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO IN FINISHING THE ASSIGNMENT
This post will help you on the Civil Rights Movement Exam – listen to the podcasts while you re-write your Timelines into your notes.
We will use the 14th Amendment as a blueprint for study of the rights endowed to you by your creator. We will explore the contractual 
responsibility of the United States government to United States citizens, in regards to protection of those rights, as documented in the Constitution. You will be tested on memorization and full explanation of section one of Amendment #14. We will rely on #14 as a foundational study for the American Civil Rights movement and for examination of judicial review in regards to the United States Supreme Court. By interpreting Amendment #14, through the prism of current civil and human rights issues, we will add a contemporary element to our study of Amendment #14.
In short – the full comprehension of Amendment #14 is vital to this course. So know it!
