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 first-year HFA or EDUC majors and first-year HFA or EDUC exploratory track students. Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts and Education Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA and EDUC Majors entering in Spring 2019.
