The American civil rights movement turned the country upside down between the 1950s and the 1970s, but what do today's kids know about it ? In fact, what do their parents know? On Sunday, Feb. 11, the Extra section will carry a report on how the movement is being taught today. The work of selected educators will be spotlighted. There will be comments on the subject from both teachers and their students. National and local benchmark events will be laid out in a timeline of the era, and there will be a quiz in which readers can test their mastery of what educators say everyone should know about the civil rights movement.
