March on Washington Hidden History Quiz

Quiz by Teaching for Change

Students from preschool through high school are often taught the simplistic narrative that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in Montgomery, the buses were desegregated, and the Civil Rights Movement was launched. Missing from that story are the strategic brilliance and courage of the African American community during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the more complex history that led up to it. This quiz helps surface and challenge many of the myths about the boycott.
