This course examines the history of black women in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. The course investigates black women's participation in, and influence on, post-World War II social and political movements as well as the impact of these struggles on black women's day-to-day lives, status, and politics. Centering black women's experiences as local organizers and political leaders, the course explores significant events, organizations, and political debates that helped to form and transform the civil rights, black power, and women's movements.
