One way to better understand current race relations is to better understand US history, much of which was not taught in school.   For many people, US African American history centers around Civil Rights and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  But, there is so much more to the story.  Taught by the 2019 Louisiana History Teacher of the Year, Karen Soileau, this class will cover US African American history in three sessions:

 

Week 1: 1607-1865

Colonization – Civil War

 

Week 2: 1865-1945

Reconstruction- WWII

 

Week 3: 1945- Present
