THIS COURSE ONLY OFFERED THROUGH RODP. This is a survey course that introduces the major themes in African-American history from the Emancipation Proclamation (1863) to the present, giving special emphasis to the events, people, and ideas that have made a distinctive contribution. This course is designed to present an overview of African-American history and lay a foundation for the further study of American civilization in history or any related discipline. Students will be asked to acquire factual information, but the mere memorization of facts is less important than the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of those historical facts.
