• A history of Black activism. Learners will follow the history of Black activism in the United States from the very beginning, tracing its evolution from abolition, to the civil rights movement, to Black Lives Matter.
• A celebration of Black excellence. In every facet of American life—from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), to politics, the arts, and more—Black Americans have led the way. In this course, learners will celebrate the pioneers and towering figures who have shaped and defined America, while also discovering some of the lesser-known groups and individuals who have been no less impactful.
