A student in my class recently completed a migration lesson aligned with the academic level
SS5H1. Describe how life changed in America around the turn of the century. The lesson aligns
with the art academic standard VA6.RE.1.a, Identify how the issues of time, place, and culture
are reflected in selected works of art. "Discusses the design of everyday objects across time and
cultures." I've organized a virtual field trip to the National Civil Rights Museum to provide
students with firsthand experience with forced migration and slavery.
This museum, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is in charge of displaying the history of the civil
rights movement as well as the occurrence of slavery or what is also referred to as forced
migration in the US from the seventeenth century. YouTube will be used for the virtual tour,
which will show the pupils more museum photos. The museum display is housed in the Lorraine
hotel, where students can experience firsthand the events of the slave trade and the forced
migration of these individuals from their homeland. The civil rights movements are the result of
this and other historical occurrences. They will next study the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King in the building, the Rosa Parks event, and other fascinating occurrences that occurred
