Description:

This course is the study of African-Americans since the days of the slave trade. Through the course, students carefully review the facts of black history, expose the many myths about the black past, recognize the horrors and effects of bigotry and intolerance that were so present throughout history, and apply this information to our understanding of black/white conditions in today's America. A specific core text, the works of many African-Americans (Douglass, DuBois, Wright, Malcolm X, Angelou, and others), documentary films, feature films, analytical essays, and lectures are the sources that lead to an understanding of this important subject.
