HIST 269 - African American Women’s History

Credits: (3)
This course is intended to familiarize students with the major themes and issues in African American women’s history from America’s founding to the present. In this survey of black women’s experiences, students will not only engage with primary sources written by or about black women, but will also consider how historians have understood or constructed their histories. In addition to readings, films, and discussions over the course of the semester, students will learn about African American women’s history by completing a semester project on a black woman of their choosing.
