Preface:

This seminar will explore some of the major developments in African-American and American history from the Reconstruction era until the growing movement for Civil Rights. We will be interested in looking at the changing nature of African-American politics and political ideas, the struggles against violence and economic hardship, the impact of the Great Migration, and the complex strains of integrationism and nationalism. We will read a combination of secondary literature and original source materials.
This seminar will be appropriate for teachers with classroom topics in American History and, in particular, in African-American History.
