FYS-From Black Power to BLM

What do popular cultural icons such as Kendrick Lamar, Colin Kaepernick, and Beyonce have in common with Black Power activists such as Malcolm X, Angela Davis, and Huey P. Newton? In this first-year seminar, we will explore African American activism beginning with the Black Power movement of the late 1960s and 70s to the current #BlackLivesMatter movement of 2022. As we examine the past and present struggle for racial justice, we will pay close attention to the role of art, music, fashion, mass media, and culture as tools for activism and resistance.
