We weren't taught how to think about how Hitler related to the World we lived in. We weren't being taught how to think, period. -Trevor Noah
Welcome to Race Class and Gender and the Homophile Movement
Course Introduction: This class is designed to study the impact of historical events and issues in relation to present day. By the end of the year, you will realize that not much has changed for groups fighting for equality in America. The class can be fast paced, and on the spot changes based on student input will occur. Participation is also key to being successful in this class as assessments are based on in class discussion.
Sensitivity : Due to the sensitive nature of content in this class, it's necessary to be respectful of the views of others. Furthermore, understand that this class explores mature concepts regarding race, sexuality and homosexuality in America. If such topics are too much for you to handle I would suggest dropping this class to avoid offending someone or struggling with mandatory in class discussions.

“We dead, we dead are a vaster army
Than those on land, than those at sea!...
And all our loves and hates and strifes
Still flow above us in mortal veins.”
