AFS 248 - The Long Civil Rights Movement

Description
Instead of limiting study to the “classical phase” of the US Civil Rights movement between 1954 and the early 1970s, class will begin in the 1930s and end with contemporary activism such as the #blacklivesmatter movement. By exploring a wide range of texts, films, music, and scholarly approaches,we will better understand the long struggle for black equality, the wide range of individuals and groups involved, and the movement’s interconnectedness with numerous other activist campaigns, especially environmental justice. Same as AMS/HIS 248 .
