Prejudice and Discrimination

A cube is a three-dimensional object with six square sides. Examples of cubes include square packing boxes or dice. In this activity, you will use the Early Leader Cube Template to create a three-dimensional information cube about one early leader in the Civil Rights Movement. Examples include Ida B. Wells, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. Dubois, or any other example approved by your instructor.

On one of the cube's sides, you will need to include the name of the person you selected for your cube. On each of the remaining five sides, you will need to include the following items:

  • Two accomplishments of the person relating to civil rights;
  • An image or illustration of the person;
  • Any organizations the person was affiliated with; and
  • A famous quotation from the person.

Your cube should be creative, informative, accurate, and well-organized. The template is structured so that you are able to cut out the cube using the solid lines, fold the shapes on the dotted lines, and attach the cube together by applying adhesive to the grey tabs. It is recommended that you create your design before assembling your cube. Before you begin, access the Early Leader Cube Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit.
