History 337 - Power and Protest in the United States

Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Democracy, citizenship and civil rights in the United States are not static concepts unaffected by societal change, nor apt to be changed without pressure from marginalized populations. In this course, we will examine how the growing consciousness and activism of several marginalized populations during the 20th century developed into social movements that changed the meaning and the delivery of democracy, citizenship and civil rights. These changes directly affected the lives of marginalized populations in the United States, and indirectly the lives of the majority population and global communities as well.
