Civil Rights are unfamiliar to the students in Baltimore.

If there is a lack of understanding by students regarding the civil rights movement there needs to be curriculum to speak to those realities. Why isn't that being covered in a history course. I am sure the school system can purchase the film Selma to keep in the library so teachers have access to it. 

There is no hard and fast rule that peaceful protests have to be boring. I think appropriate music is a good idea.
