Did you know that black people were not welcomed on many beaches or pools in the United States of America? Today, we all have access to public beaches because of the courageous demonstrators who fought for our freedom and rights to go to any public beach. Can you imagine being outside on a hot summer day and not being able to go swimming because of the color of your skin? In this class, students will learn all about the wade-ins that took place to help fight against racial segregation at public beaches and pools. Students will understand what wade-ins were and how they helped push the civil rights movement in America. Students will understand how recreational activities like swimming were intended for only white citizens to enjoy but not colored citizens. I will talk about how wade-ins led to the Desegregation of public beaches and pools around the country. Students will learn how African Americans were able to help make America a better place for all people to enjoy by risking their lives, protesting and fighting against unfair laws. This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Participation is encouraged but not required. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, I think its important to give each student the opportunity to speak and ask questions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, American Figures, Racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being bias. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges which heavily focused on Afro and African American studies.
