Course Website Live

This summer 2017, I conducted a self-designed course at Brown University entitled, "Black Panthers, Brown Berets: Radical Social Movements of the Late 20th Century." As the title suggests, this course was dedicated to understanding the histories of these social movements, organizations, and individuals originating from Black, Latin@, Asian, and Native American communities. The class brought together high school students from across the country and from abroad. Shortly after the course had concluded, I received an email from a student saying that the material had inspired her and others from the class to start their own student group, the "American Unity Movement." There are currently three active AUM regional chapters--East, West, and Gulf Coast--that have come out of the vision, enthusiasm, and creativity of these students. 

I created a new website devoted to this course in order to share some materials, insights, and projects as a resource to educators and students interested in these subjects. You can view it at: Blogs.Brown.Edu/PeoplePower.  

A student's final project: a historic-styled political poster on decolonizing the mind.
