Institution:

Northampton County Area Community College

Subject:

History

Description:

This course closely examines the influence that people of African descent have had on the development of the United States. Chronologically it begins with the African origins of the black population and traces their experiences through every major period in United States history from colonial times to the present. The course will also explore the rich cultural contributions made by African Americans in the areas of music, art, religion, and literature during such periods at the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power Movement, and the contemporary Hip Hop era. The schools of thought we will encounter range from integration and assimilation to Pan Africanism and civil disobedience. The teaching materials draw on the latest scholarship in history and related disciplines to help students understand the impact of gender, class, and race on historical events. Core: D, SIT.
