    Description
    This course covers the development of American Institutions and society through Reconstruction from the lens of the African American experience. The course examines the political, economic, and social forces that engendered the institution of slavery and the implications for race issues, civil war, and the struggle for equality. Beginning with the ancestral home of West Africa, this course emphasizes the cultural and intellectual contributions of African Americans as they shaped and developed the nation through resistance and resilience.
