Course Catalog Description:
How Black Studies evolved to become Africana Studies in 1960s and an academic field in major universities. How Africana Studies became a discipline that encompassed both Africa and Africans in Diaspora [African American Studies].
Class Description:
This is a community-based collective historical research and writing course. It explores the history of Minnesota's African Americans during the first half of the twentieth century. Placed at the center of our collaborative inquiry is the history of Minnesota's African American porters, as well as these porters' family members and allies active in the organizing activity of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) between the 1920s and the 1950s. The key feature of this course is that what we research and eventually deliver is tightly bound up with community building. Working closely with the local social service agency in St. Paul called Model Cities, we will help this agency create a public history space in its new building. Our goal is to produce and present historical knowledge in a way that allows St. Paul's Rondo community members and others with deep ties to this community - the young and the old - to remember the rich local history of African American activism between the 1920s and the 1950s.
