HST-228 African American Experience and Public History in the U.S.
Examines the way that African American history is presented through public history in the United States. This exploration will include monuments, memorials and historic sites that both focus on the African American experience and examine how they fit into the context of American history. Time will also be given to look at the use of films, architecture and archaeology. This will be done through reading texts, viewing of films and visiting local historic sites that explore public history and the African American experience from various geographical perspectives.
