The goal of the lesson plan to help students learn to collect and organize data using Chapter 7 of Race Relations in the Natural State or other resources in order to compare Black and White experiences during the Great Depression in Arkansas. Students will also create a timeline that charts successes and setbacks in the struggle for racial equality from the 1930s – 1950s.
