ANTH 264B Public Heritage and the Africana Experience

This course explores local, domestic, and international perspectives on how history and archaeology can be mobilized to empower communities. It focuses on close readings of recent scholarship paired with field trips to local heritage sites, including the Frederick Douglass House, the Josiah Henson Museum and Park, the Anacostia Local Museum, and the Go-Go Museum. The goal is to reveal how archaeology can engage the public by connecting past and present through objects, sites, and spaces.
