African American Organizing From 1877 to the Present: Defining Citizenship in America

This course offers a semester-long exploration into the ways in which African Americans have mobilized and organized to define US citizenship in the struggle for civil rights from the late 19th century to the present. In this course, students will consider how race, gender identity, class, national identity, and/or historical moments have shaped the ways in which African Americans have organized and mobilized historically, and in doing so defined what we mean by citizenship in the society.
