Y6 Black History Month: Exploring the Lives of Jesse Owens and Rosa Parkes
29th Oct 2020
Black History month is a time of remembrance. We reflected on the ways black people were treated as we explored the lives of Jesse Owens, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.
We learned how the US ‘Jim Crow Laws’ kept people segregated simply because of their skin colour, thinking specifically about Rosa Parks and Jesse Owens and how their stories played a part in the American Civil Rights Movement.
