The U.S. Constitution & Black History - Closed Structure
The U.S. Constitution & Black History
This interactive course examines how the laws of the United States, starting with the Constitution itself, have impacted the history of black Americans. It covers important legal cases like Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Brown v. Board of Ed. How have we moved toward a more inclusive nation that strives to live up to the words Thomas Jefferson penned in the Declaration of Independence, "…all men (people!) are created equal" and accord all equal protection of the law?
This version of the course has a "Closed" Structure. Learners are required to navigate through the course in sequence, and to view the entire videos and take any quizzes in order to proceed to the next segment.
