Course Description:
This course journey tends to the making and meaning of Black people's lives in America upon seizing their freedom and breaking slavery's chains. It sojourns with them through Jim Crow – and its birth and re-birth through the generations. Further, the course follows the emergence and evolution of their freedom calls from Civil Rights and Black Power to Black Lives Matter. Under consideration here too, are Black people's forms of cultural expression, racial consciousness, spatial migrations, and community building.
