About this title

Synopsis

The Struggle for Civil Rights is a college-level, academic game in which students role-play characters set in moments of crisis during the American Civil Rights Movement. They work toward achieving victory objectives by giving paper-presentations, holding discussions and debates, and voting on various objectives. There are two main modules: Dorchester 1963 is based on decisions after the Albany protests and before Birmingham. Memphis 1966 is based on decisions after the shooting of James Meredith and before the March Against Fear from Memphis to Jackson. Most Students are organized into one of three factions: NAACP, SCLC and SNCC. Primary and secondary readings prepare students for playing their roles. Both main modules are preceded by the Highlander Folk School modules which helps students focus on their roles by engaging in activities inspired by the Folk School which helped leaders such as Dr. King and Rosa Parks.
