A History of Black America , 6th edition Dudley, William, ed. Students are expected to read the texts prior to class so that they are prepared for the day's work and are ready to participate. Students will participate in one of two community service projects during the semester. They will either write a research paper for on a local history topic or take an active part in LCC's commemoration of Black History Month during February. Particulars about each option are forthcoming and will be posted on my web page.
Students are to keep a weekly journal.
This is their chance to think and write about the state of African American in the present and the past. They can reflect on local, state, national and world issues, or upon material from this course. Or you might just want to get something off your chest. For instance, a student may choose to write an entry about an incident of racism or the depiction of African Americans in the media. Make it part of your routine.
