- A Black Woman Speaks: Will you fight with me?

Catalog description

What is the fight and how do we engage? This course guides students in an examination of the historical and societal context as well as contemporary applicability of pieces that dare folks to engage on a visceral level (music, theater, poetry, prose). Students will explore creative works and oratorical moments that issue a call-to-action, while giving voice and visibility to Black women. Students will articulate their own calls-to-action relative to current realities, as well as participate in the conceptualization of a course-inspired campus event bridging Black History Month and Women’s History Month.
