AFBL 245 - African American Education and Schooling


This course examines the education and schooling experience for African Americans from the 17th century to present day.  It will look at schooling within a social, political, cultural, and economic context.  It will explore how the purpose of education for African Americans changed over time and how education was used as a tool of resistance and liberation.  Finally, this course will look at how education legislation, curriculum and high stakes testing impact academic achievement for African American children and often function as a means of stratification rather than education.
