HIS 529 - Black Resistance in the Age of Jim Crow, 1896-1954[3 credit(s)]
African Americans challenged white supremacy long before the emergence of the modern movement for civil rights. This course studies the politics of black resistance during the era of legal segregation-from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) to Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Topics include anti-lynching, the impact of rural-to-urban and southern-to-northern migration, unionization, Garveyism, communism, the roots of black power, and the ways in which African Americans confronted the rise of a racist commercial culture.
