The struggle for Black liberation in the United States is older than the nation itself and continues into the 21st century. In this three-part seminar, we will explore key and often underrepresented voices of the Black liberation movement. We’ll investigate the environments in which ideas about Black liberation emerged, took root, and were set into motion. By engaging with the works of a variety of activists from diverse intellectual and artistic traditions, we will immerse ourselves in the ideas and emotions that fueled calls for justice and change in America. These sessions will include opportunities for reflection and conversation about intentionally bringing these voices into the classroom to inspire civic engagement and democratic discourse.
