AFBL 214 - Freedom Struggles: From the Civil War to Black Lives Matter


What is the meaning of the term “freedom” in the United States and what counts as a “freedom struggle”?  This course asks students to relearn their country’s modern history narrative through the lens of African American history.  We explore the many meanings of “freedom” in the United States, and how African Americans have fought for that freedom.  Our chronological focus takes us from the end of the Civil War to the Black Lives Matter movement.
