Students will study the African American experience from its African origin to its American present using an inquiry-based approach. The course will focus on the roles that Africans and African Americans have played in World and American history. Students will analyze fundamental concepts of African American history: civilization, culture, slave trade, migration, discrimination, and civil rights. Students will develop reading, thinking, research, writing, study skills through projects, community and school service. They will be involved in research and examining the historical facts about African Americans that have been omitted from American and World history.
