History

Description:

This seminar introduces students to current research on the history of the modern civil rights movement, 1941-1975.

It will also discuss how the black power movement grew out of the civil rights movement and how independent black politics, black cultural pride, and armed resistance to terrorism operated in tandem with legal efforts and nonviolent protest in the struggle for African American social equality
