Professor John Canzanella will lead this course.
This course will explore the history of slavery, which began before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. It will continue through emancipation, segregation, and two aspects of the Civil Rights Movement in the twentieth century: the legal challenge of Thurgood Marshall, and the moral challenge of Martin Luther King Jr. Using three books, Before the Mayflower, Simple Justice, and Parting the Waters, students will be assigned readings and view the movie based on Simple Justice.
This will start on Monday, October 17th at 7pm in the Social Room and will continue for 8 weeks, skipping Halloween night.
