This activity gives students the role of one of twelve civil rights activists:

Asa Phillip Randolph

Malcolm X

Angela Davis

Rosa Parks

Ella Baker

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Bobby Seale

Thurgood Marshall

Marcus Garvey

Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture)

James Baldwin

James Farmer

As their role, they need to talk to 8 other activists and take notes about their methods and goals. It is formatted for Microsoft Word so you can add more activists into the format if you want. This can serve as a jumping off point for students to do further research on these activists, create conversations between them, and other activities.
