HIST 10152 - African American History 1865-PRESENTCourse Credit: 1 Maximum Credit: 0 AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY 1865 TO THE PRESENT This course surveys major themes in African American History from the start of the Civil War, through Reconstruction’s “long emancipation”-when African Americans were afforded some political rights-through the Jim Crow era when those rights were stripped away, and the Civil Rights Movement when they waged a valiant struggle to be included as first-class citizens. Students will explore not only how freedom expanded and contracted for African Americans across time and place, but the various strategies of protest and self-expression they used to gain equality and justice.
