Help explaining Callais decision to my sophomores
Hello all,
I’m a 10th grade US history teacher in MA. I’m currently into our Civil Rights unit.
I’m seeking some guidance for two things really:
I don’t really full understand the Callais decision. I am hoping someone can explain it to me like I’m 5 so that I can
explain it to my students.
I think the civil rights movement is often viewed as “Jim Crow was really bad, these heroes defeated it, and eve try thing is better now.” From what I understand, the Callais decision and the the new map that just passed in TN today is really just Jim Crow 2.0. At least, that’s what I’ve read online, but I just don’t know enough to say if that’s huperbole or what the real consequences are. So I’m turning to all of you, the experts. Thanks in advance. I appreciate your time.
