HIST 2100 Black History and Civil Rights in the United States
Understanding Black history and civil rights is crucial for fostering social justice and cultural competence. This class covers significant moments and movements in Black history, including the middle passage, African enslavement, abolition, Reconstruction, and the long, ongoing Civil Rights Movement. Learners analyze historical evidence, trace the development of slavery and racism, and explore the ongoing fight for equality and justice. Through primary and secondary source engagement, students develop critical thinking and comparative analysis skills. They will also learn to communicate their findings effectively; this prepares students to address discrimination and support equity in their future careers.
