    Description
    This course focuses on the lived experiences of those of African descent from pre-colonial Africa through the Civil War. This course applies theory and knowledge produced by African American communities to describe the critical events, histories, cultures, intellectual traditions, contributions, lived-experiences and social struggles of this group with a particular emphasis on the emergence of an African American culture and the creation of black liberation ideology and practices. Included is an examination of the U. S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the transatlantic slave trade, the institution of slavery and free black societies and institutions.
