WREL 5123 Race, Religion and Revolution
The ideological journeys and the speaking skills of three central figures in the Civil Rights/ human rights movements in the 1960s, 70s and 80s are the foci of this course. In particular, this course will focus on the socio-cultural context and the ethical underpinnings of the work of Angela Davis, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. In doing so, students will have the opportunity to develop a critical reflective understanding of the College's mission to "educate students to be ethical and socially responsible leaders in a global community." In addition, the course will focus on the development of students' oral competency using Angela Davis, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. as possible role models.
