HIST 369 US Civil Rights Movement, 1945-Present
After briefly surveying developments in U.S. race relations from Reconstruction through the Second World War, this course explores in depth the civil rights activism and politics of the 1950s and 1960s. The latter portion of the course examines the evolution of such "post-Movement" policies as busing and affirmative action and traces the course of American race relations since the 1970s.
