PAX 325 - Twentieth-Century African American Thinkers

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

From the earliest times the people of African descent in this country have resisted oppression in a myriad of ways. In their relentless struggle for freedom, African Americans have broadened and deepened the meaning of democracy. In pressing the nation to be more open and just, they have contributed richly to the corpus of modern political and social thought. Their contribution to the expansion of democracy is a major piece of U.S. history. This course explores the meaning of African American thought through the primary writings of thinker-activists such as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, Howard Thurman, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis and Andrew Young.
