This content will present the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland for comparison with the USA civil rights movement. In this lesson, we trace the movement from the first televised March in 1968 to the Long March in 1969.
This lesson is part 1 of three classes on civil rights in Northern Ireland. We recommend you show this before the classes on Bloody Sunday (part II) and The People's Gallery (part III) - but each class will work individually.
