| Description: | HYBRID COURSE. HIS-240-01=BLS-270-04 This course considers the overlapping lives and legacies of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela, three revolutionary figures whose influence on the fight for civil rights in America and Africa was profound and far reaching. Though the American public rarely imagined them as political bedfellows in their time, a closer inspection of their lives reveals striking autobiographical similarities and pan-African connections. Students will closely examine the convergences and confluences of their biographies, political ideologies, and activism while exploring broader issues including colonialism, civil disobedience, cultural resistance, social justice, and freedom. We will consider how their lives intersected in the transnational struggle for racial equality and how their legacies continue to shape contemporary debates about black identity and the continued crisis of American race relations? |
