HIST 2060 - African American History

Credits: 3

Course only offered through TN eCampus
This course will examine the history of Africans and their descendants in the United States from the end of the Civil War to the present, investigating topics from emancipation to the ongoing struggle for Civil Rights. Connections between this history and the issues and concerns facing all Americans in the present will be explored. Students will be asked to acquire factual information but the mere memorization of facts is less important than the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of those historical facts.
