Description:

This interdisciplinary course examines the evolution of African American political mobilization from 1945 to 1975. Through an analysis of historical scholarship, sermons, theology, works of literature, films and music, it explores the various ways that African Americans articulated their political demands and affirmed their citizenship, using workers rights, the church, feminism, education, war, grassroots organizations, the federal bureaucracy, and the law as a tool for political action. Students and professors will travel during spring break to visit the sites of certain key struggles and meet with witnesses and participants.
