FYS - Race in America
Over 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 pursued a mission to educate Americans on the reality of race in our country and to demonstrate the oft-forgotten humanity of Black life. 120 years later this work is still woefully unfinished. This course will endeavor to help students understand why this is the case.
