This document helped showing you the integrating effects of sport, casting light upon the fact that sport does not exclude or isolate - on the contrary, it helps federate the society and overcome any form of differences.
Dear students,

Dear students,
Please find below the video entitled The Power of Sport, which we worked on at the beginning of the unit, which constitutes a good introduction to work on the key issue "to what extent does sport federate, integrate but also separate?"
Sit-in campaigns and freedom rides were two form of protest against segregative laws taken up by civilians - white and African-American activists - consisting in deliberately challenging and violating the segregation rules in the South of the United States.
Sit-in campaigners and freedom riders proved their fortitude and true desire to make a change, aiming to draw the attention of the press so that more and more people join these peaceful protests.
Find attached the document summing up what sit-ins and freedom rides are.
The video below corresponds to the scene from the 2013 film entitled The Butler, directed by filmmaker Lee Daniels and starring Forrest Whittaker as the lead role.
The link below leads you to the trailer of the documentary film Freedom Riders, which we watched in class.
