    Description
    This course examines the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. system of government, the ideas and values on which they are based, and their impact on African Americans. It focuses on the American government at the national, state, and local levels, emphasizing the roles and influences of African Americans from a contemporary and historical perspective, especially their legal and civil rights in areas of employment, law, and public participation. It addresses how racial and ethnic coalition-building, racial resistance, and agency formation have affected African-American communities and the American political system. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
