This course will examine, explore, and investigate Black social movements as methods of political activism, resistance, and protest. We will explore the foundations of Black politics and how they have been used as methods of social and political activism. Specifically, we will examine social movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, Black Lives Matter, and many others. This course will provide students with the academic and intellectual thought behind various forms of political resistance by examining peaceful protest, civil disobedience, and the intersection of violence. We will also examine internal disagreements and perspectives among scholars regarding effective methods of social and political activism.
