The Black freedom struggle is the most significant social movement in the history of the United States. It has been principally through this struggle that many ideals of America's founding-liberty, justice, freedom, and equality-have been made real and extended to an ever-increasing number of American citizens.

This class will focus on a ten-year portion of the Black freedom struggle that occurred in the American South.
