HIS3013 ST: Civil Rights & Social Movements

What forces came together in the twentieth century to support dynamic and sustained movements for civil rights? How did the civil rights struggle of one group overlap with and influence the momentum of another? What role did media – film, music, photography, television broadcasts, among others – play in the struggle for civil rights? These are three of the “big questions” this course will address as it examines the decades of struggle for recognition, inclusion, and equality for marginalized populations in America. This course will explore the media produced by those participating in the Civil Rights Movement era, which includes various struggles-African American civil rights, the disability rights movement, organized labor in the 20th century, and the women’s liberation movement-that gained visibility, occupied center stage in U.S. social, political, and cultural politics, and acted collectively to challenge the status quo of the powerful systems that resisted this change.
