Using Ibram X. Kendi’s book, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America (2016), we will explore the manifestations of anti-black thinking from 1619 to the present. The course will consist of 5 meetings that cover:

(1) Colonial America;

(2) The Revolution and the Early Republic;

(3) Abolition, the Civil War, and Reconstruction;

(4) Jim Crow, Segregation, and the Era of the World Wars; and

(5) Civil Rights to the Present.

Dr. Dan Aldridge will assist with this course.
