Study the United States' foundational documents—especially the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Federalist Papers—to identify the presence or absence of promises of equality.

Board of Education, and the early 1960s, including Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech.
