Abstract Details

2010, Master of Education, University of Toledo, Education Theory and Social Foundations.
An action research study was conducted regarding the significance of studying the Civil Rights Movement on the personal development of adults who, as students, had participated in Civil Rights related curriculum. Data were gathered and analyzed utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach. Ten participants were interviewed as to their views regarding past experiences of learning about the Civil Rights Movement from both high school and outside sources, such as elder family members, involvement in community organizations, and involvement in the TOLEDO EXCEL program for aspiring minority youth. The results suggest that the strong personal impact from learning and being taught about the Civil Rights Movement supports the need for the continuation and expansion of Civil Rights related curricula both in the TOLEDO EXCEL program and in high school coursework.
