HI 361 - Civil Rights Movement


This course explores the African-American struggle to achieve social, political, and economic equality in the United States in the twentieth century.  It analyzes the important events of the movement and the strategies employed during the struggle, as well as the contributions of prominent national leaders and local activists, both black and white. This course places the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision in a broad context, beginning with early efforts both to resist and accommodate Jim Crow and continuing through the 20th century, with consideration of the ways that other “rights” struggles shared tactics, goals, and ideology with the black civil rights movement.

Note: Meets the Citizenship Learning Outcome (CITZ)

Four credits.
