What standards are covered?

These Civil Rights Movement Task Cards are specifically aligned with the 2023 Virginia U.S. History SOL USII.8a-b, although the task cards closely match most U.S. History standards related to important people, events, and policies associated with the Civil Rights Movement.

Other Information:

I recommend printing these task cards in color and laminating so that they can easily be reused from year to year, although this is not necessary. These task cards also print and are easy to read in grayscale.
