Description:

This seminar explores black struggle in America's northern cities, beginning in World War II and stretching throughout the 1970's. We study African American electoral politics, grass-roots protests, controversies over school integration and busing, the segregated urban landscape, and the idea of "the North" as a definable region of its own. This course introduces students to figures as disparate as Malcolm X, Ed Brooke, Shirley Chisholm, and Jackie Robinson.
