American Civics in an Age of Controversy III
This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.
Examine the history of America as "contested ground" from World War I to the present. This final course in a three-quarter sequence combines primary source readings with excerpts from the New York Times’ 1619 Project, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of America, and Wilfred McClay’s Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story. Students will consider the origins and meaning of liberty and equality—and the conditions for a just and stable democratic republic. There are no prerequisites; students may take this third course without completing the previous two.
