Login to Select as one of my optionsCourse Description
This course focuses on Black Civil Rights in the USA. From slavery to the campaigns of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, students will investigate how America became so racist and why individuals and groups risked their lives to challenge legal racism. Students will assess what the recent Black Lives Matter campaign tells us how about how genuinely America changed its values and why the issue of racism is still a hot topic in the USA today.
Film studies will be an important aspect of this course.
Students with an interest in NZ history will be able to use this course as a springboard to investigate an aspect of race relations or Māori history, and compare and contrast NZ issues with those faced by the USA.
