Once upon a time, there was a country where people were divided by their race. They lived in separate areas and went to separate schools. This was called segregation.

Some people didn't like this and decided to protest. They wanted everyone to be treated equally no matter what their race was. They started a boycott, which meant they wouldn't buy things from stores that supported segregation.

The protests became bigger and more people joined. The government didn't like this and started using violence to stop the protests. But the people kept on fighting for their rights.

Finally, the Civil War started. It was a big war between people who wanted equality for all and people who wanted to keep segregation. The people who wanted equality won the war and segregation was banned.

From then on, everyone was able to go to the same schools and live in the same areas. The people who had been protesting and striking were very happy because they had finally achieved their goal of equality for all.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the people protest against segregation?
2. What was the boycott about?
3. What happened in the Civil War?
4. What was the result of the people's fight for equality?
5. Do you think it is important for everyone to be treated equally? Why or why not?
