This course will use digital resources to study the history of African-American resistance to and organization against slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration/racialized policing from 1619 to the present. We will also build new resources. In addition to the historical content, students will participate in designing, building, and testing digital humanities resources that are reshaping how we understand the past and the present. (HNA)
