About the image
Civil rights history books sit on a shelf in Vickie Malone’s senior elective class, “Local Cultures,” Sept. 21, 2009, in McComb, Miss. The class focuses on civil rights issues, teaching the multiple perspectives involved in African-Americans’ fight for freedom. Mississippi Senate Bill 2718, passed in 2006, mandates all kindergartners to 12th-graders to be exposed to civil rights education and tested on the subject matter. (Photo by Carmen K.
