African-American Studies
African-American Studies Grades 10–12 0.5 Credit *CD Pathway
This elective course moves beyond the traditional history class by examining the African American experience in depth – analyzing the ongoing impacts of slavery, struggles for racial equality, and the rich and immense contributions of African-Americans to community, country, and the world. Special attention will be focused on the ways in which the past has shaped the realities of our contemporary society as well as the ongoing systemic racism that still permeates American life today. This course is a wonderful precursor for students interested in pursuing AP African-American Studies.
