Biographies of Emancipation in the Black World

4.0 credits

This course explores the sites and figures who contributed to the emancipation of the Black world, understood here as the African continent and peoples of African descent. The course's main objective is to introduce students to charismatic figures such as Kwame Nkrumah, W.E.B. Dubois, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Josephine Baker, Angela Davis and many others who contributed to the long walk to freedom in the Black World. Students will also learn by leaving and interacting with host families. The ultimate outcome expected from this course is to introduce students to Ghana as a strategic location in the global struggle for the emancipation of the Black world.
