An Awesome Primary Source

During our 5th grade unit on prejudice, we've also been learning about the value of primary sources.  Last week, we had the opportunity to learn from a real-live primary source: Tre's grandfather!  He shared with us a first-hand account of his involvement with the civil rights movement and helped us understand prejudice better through several interesting activities.
