Citizenship and Rights Timeline - Assignment Civil rights, equality, and liberty are some of the founding ideals of this nation, though not realized by many. In his textbook, Give Me Liberty, author Eric Foner emphasizes how the struggle for civil rights for all has been ongoing in the history of our nation. People of all backgrounds have fought for an expansion of civil rights and citizenship. Using a free Word or other word processing software template*, create a timeline that charts out what in your opinion are the most important events in the history of the struggle for civil rights since 1865. Guidelines: You will need 12 entries on your timeline; events must be appropriately labeled, and have dates noted. Entries must be in chronological order. Additionally, in 200 words or fewer, explain your choices for these entries. Note: This assignment will be much easier if you choose a theme to make your timeline more coherent, rather than choosing a random set of events and dates. * You can obtain free templates online at the Office or other sites.
