Bard High School Early College DC (Bard DC) – Black British, 'BL-Asians' and Aboriginals

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course learns from Black communities throughout Europe, Australia and Asia. We examine celebrated writers and novels such as Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but also the Japanese-Haitian tennis star, Naomi Osaka. The course explores individuals and groups throughout history and across continents, highlighting Black successes rarely heard about in school. Students will write their own works to recognize these uncommon narratives.
