BLACK HISTORY

The focus of this course will be on the historical experience of people of African descent in the United States, from the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the rise of plantation slavery, to the formation of a distinct African American culture of today. We will explore the dynamics of the post Civil War period, including Reconstruction, the age of Booker T. Washington, the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights Struggle, the Black Power era, and the politics of blackness during the presidency of Barack Obama.
