Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA1 - FYS - Race in America

This seminar will facilitate an evolving conversation among first year students concerning the function and impact of racism to the people of the United States. A century ago WEB Du Bois wrote two of the most important books on race in American history (The Souls of Black Folk and The Gift of Black Folk). These works were, in part, pursuing a mission to educate Americans on the reality of race in our country. A century later this work is still ongoing.

Open to students in HFA Connect RAP in Van Meter Hall.
