revolutions of the african diaspora
In Revolutions of the African Diaspora, students engage in inquiry and learn to use critical thinking to interpret art, oral histories, and primary sources...all while making history relevant to their lives. During this course, students learn about Spanish, French, and Portuguese colonization of Africa and the Americas, the fate of the indigenous peoples, and the arrival of the enslaved people to the Americas from Africa. These conversations set the stage for discussions about the growing frustration from the Black, Creole, and Mestizo populations with French, Spanish, and Portuguese rule, the the promise of abolition, the Haitian Revolution, all while laying to rest the notion that the enslaved and colonized people did not fight for their freedom.
