Together, we will interrogate how African Americans carved out a space for revolution, resistance, and transformation in their quest for social change while also shaping Black social and political thought in the United States. Students will examine readings, speeches and other artifacts that not only impacted the lives of African Americans, but of all Americans and the Black Diaspora. Examples of materials to be explored include speeches by W.E.B DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Hosea Hudson, Claudia Jones, Bayard Rustin, SNCC, Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, Audre Lorde, and Harold Washington.
