Distribute Lifesavers in the cafeteria to start Mix Up lunchtime conversations.
Type quotes from civil rights leaders onto strips of paper or onto index cards.
Tape individually wrapped Lifesavers candies onto the paper and hand out to students as they exit the lunch line and begin to choose seats. Have a large cut out of a Lifesaver candy in the center of each table with instructions, encouraging students to discuss their quotes with others sitting at their table. To suggest students take new seats, coordinate the color of the Lifesaver centerpiece with the Lifesaver candies and have students sit at a table that matches their candy color.
