Course Description

The African American Studies course in Richmond Public Schools is designed to develop an understanding of the causes, character, and

consequences of the African American experience and its influence on the world, the United States, and the African American community.

Beginning with a historical, geographical, social, political, economic, and cultural understanding of the African continent, the course will

provide a descriptive and corrective overview which will introduce the student to the study of the African and African American experiences.

This course is a survey of the African-American experience from the African background to the post-civil rights developments. It focuses on

African-Americans’ quest for the American dream and how they attempted to deal with the problems and challenges posed by enslavement and

racism. Themes of change and continuity in the black experience, the struggles against Jim Crow, the civil rights struggles, and post-civil rights

developments are also examined.
