Equality under the law is an ideal, not a reality. In this lesson, students explore state segregation laws and their political, economic, and social impact on African Americans in the Jim Crow era. Students also explore how Black communities resisted these laws and assess the lasting impact on people’s lives and opportunities.

I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
