Question 1

What will I learn in African American History?

Accepted Answer

This course will survey African American history from precolonial Africa through the present. Students will be introduced to key concepts in African American history from early beginnings in indigenous Africa, the transatlantic slave 96 trade, the arrival of Africans to America in 1619, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, the Civil Rights era and into the present. In addition, the course will highlight the social, cultural, and political contributions of African Americans to American society. The course is supported by the local division curriculum and Virtual Virginia modules. The study of history rests on knowledge of dates, names, places, events, and ideas. Historical understanding, however, requires students to engage in historical thinking: to raise questions and marshal evidence in support of their answers. Students engaged in historical thinking draw upon chronological thinking, historical comprehension, historical analysis and interpretation, historical research, and decision-making. These skills are developed through the study of significant historical content from the era or society being studied.
