Docsteach: A Famous Person and Event Revealed: Examining an Arrest Record

This activity requires students to examine the arrest record of an un-named person. Students will analyze and evaluate the data contained in the document, applying prior knowledge, to discern what happened in the incident and the identity of the person involved. It is Rosa Parks, but her name has been blacked out in the activity.
