Have you thought of Rosa Parks? She was not a famous or educated person, just a lady trying to get home, but she sparked a huge movement in the south regarding segregation. She is one of my heroes!
Thanks Laura
I have Rosa Parks, Martin luther king, jackie robinson, malalcom x
What time frame is your class talking about when your question says "in these critical times"? today could be considered a critical time for civil rights and civil liberties, and do these activists need to be American? If not, then what about Nelson Mandela? I am old enough to remember when he was released from incarceration in Africa. I can think of present day actrivists like Maya Angelou and Jesse Jackson that would make interesting talk in a classroom discussion or give some interest to a paper.
