Social Justice and the African American Experience
In our social justice class, students are immersed in a thought-provoking exploration of historical events that have shaped our world. This course delves into crucial topics such as European colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and the profound impact of slavery on the rise of mercantilism and capitalism.
Through a comprehensive analysis, students examine the intricate connections between European wealth and the institution of slavery. They gain a deeper understanding of how Europeans benefited economically, socially, and politically from this exploitative system. This critical examination allows students to grasp the profound repercussions that continue to resonate in our contemporary society.
By studying these historical contexts, students develop a nuanced perspective and engage in meaningful discussions about the complex legacies of colonialism and slavery. The course aims to foster empathy, critical thinking, and a commitment to social justice, empowering students to challenge systemic inequities and work towards a more equitable and inclusive future
