Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

Black Thought in the Twentieth Century introduces students to African America's economic, social, political, religious, gender, racial and ethnic backgrounds through an exploration of the lives, words and deeds of the most influential minds within the race. Scholars, religious leaders, and community activists guided the largest U.S. racial minority through segregation to the present participation in political and economic institutions. Their struggle inspired freedom movements throughout the world. The course promotes an understanding of multidisciplinary learning, self-examination and intercultural unity. The long-term goal is that pupils understand the cycle of racial oppression in the United States and how African Americans have worked to break it.
