Topic/Theme: This course is designed both to introduce students to key issues, themes, and aspects of African American Studies as well as to pique their interest in what it means to BE, KNOW, BEFRIEND, and UNDERSTAND African Americans. (I have presumed very little knowledge on the students' parts of either African American or American minorities) Purpose/Objectives: Students will think about, examine, and discuss topics in African American studies (history, culture, music, dance, comedy, fashion, prominent figures). Each week is focused around a certain topic.
