Description

The revitalization and reinvention of civil rights advocacy in the United States is the focus of this course. Considers the paradoxes of progress, investigates the relationship between leaders and followers, and evaluates the successes and failures of civil rights strategies over the past half century. The major assignment for the course provides students with the opportunity to devise a civil rights innovation in response to a contemporary problem or difficulty. Working in groups, students seek out and research topics of their own choosing to generate creative ideas about how to reverse civil rights decline.
