| Description: | Web site providing a lesson plan based on the the Dr. M. T. Pope House, a home on the National Register of Historic Places, in Raleigh, North Carolina. According to information on the nomination form, the Pope House, "represents racial intolerance and segregation, but also the strength and dignity of those who refused to be subjugated by bigotry." The lesson plan provides context and introductory questions, maps of downtown Raleigh in 1903 and 2005, biographical information about the Pope family, photographs of the family and the home, a list of activities, and a list of supplementary resources.
