We explore our country’s racial history beginning with the first arrival of kidnapped Africans in 1619 through the present day. Class focuses on the early years, slavery by another name, public policy, the Civil Rights Movement, mass incarceration, the war on drugs and voter suppression then and now. Finally, we consider where we go from here.
