HIST 288 - Sem: Public History: Race in the U.S.


This course examines the multiple ways that history is represented to the public and the way the public shapes representations of the past, with a special emphasis on race.  We will explore the many dimensions of public history, including museums, national parks, commemorations, documentary films, and historic preservation through readings and field trips.  Students will get hands-on experience researching historical photos of African Americans for an upcoming exhibit.
