 Course Description Prerequisite: A writing course. Recommended: WRTG 291. An examination of African Americans in the United States since the Civil War. The objective is to examine the significance of the emancipation of African Americans and various leadership and philosophical perspectives within the African American community. Topics include emancipation and Reconstruction; segregation, accommodationism, and institution building; migration and urbanization; resistance and the birth and growth of the civil rights movement; and the problem of race and racism as a national issue with global impact in the modern world.

 Course Introduction This course covers African American history from the end of the Civil War to the present. It begins with a consideration of emancipation, the transition from slave to citizen, and the promise and failure of Reconstruction. It continues with an examination of populism; the entrenchment of Jim Crow segregation; and the philosophies of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois. It explores the impact of World War I on African Americans, including the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, and Garveyism; the Great Depression/World War II era; and the civil rights (King) and Black Power movements (Malcolm X). The course concludes with a discussion of contemporary race relations and highlights the election of the first African American president. HIST 461 combines readings, discussion, projects, and writing assignments that emphasize both the travails and triumphs of African Americans since the Civil War, and endeavors to discover, identify, and cultivate the forces and ideologies that promote democracy, social justice, and a "more perfect union."

 Course Outcomes After completing this course, students should be able to:

Examine the significance of the emancipation of African Americans in order to identify the social, political, and economic challenges of the transition from enslavement to citizenship Evaluate the reversal of gains made during Reconstruction to determine its impact on African Americans Describe the emergence of independent secular and spiritual institutions during the post-Reconstruction era to explain the development of the African American community Explain the complexity of discordant legal, juridical, and enforcement components of local, state, and federal agencies to trace their ongoing evolution Explore the various leadership and philosophical perspectives within the African American community from the turn of the 20th century to appraise their impact over time

Academic Integrity Philosophy & Policy

As explained in UMGC’s Philosophy of Academic Integrity (https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/academic- integrity/philosophy.cfm), the foundation of our vision for students to build knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve their professional aspirations is integrity. Our institutional Academic Integrity Policy (https://www.umgc.edu/administration/policies-and- reporting/policies/academic-affairs/dishonesty-plagiarism.cfm) outlines guiding principles that support integrity and lists prohibited misconduct.

To support your learning about Academic Integrity, we ask that all students in this course review all the modules in the Academic Integrity Tutorial. After completing this task, you will be asked to sign the pledge below. The pledge is located in Week 1 of the course and is labeled “Discussion: Responsibility for Academic Integrity Pledge”:

“UMGC's online Academic Integrity Tutorial (https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/academic- integrity/tutorial/index.cfm) and UMGC’s Academic Integrity Policy ( https://www.umgc.edu/administration/policies-and- reporting/policies/academic-affairs/dishonesty-plagiarism.cfm) can help me understand how to apply my own personal ethics and integrity to creating authentic academic work. By submitting this pledge, I acknowledge that I am responsible for information in the policy section of the syllabus for this course and for the information in Module 1 in the Tutorial. I understand that I can learn about the authenticity of my writing through use of Turnitin that is enabled for assignments in the LEO classroom and that I could face consequences for engaging in prohibited academic misconduct.”

Next steps:

1. Review all modules in the Academic Integrity Tutorial (https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/academic- integrity/tutorial/index.cfm).

2. Go to Week 1 of this course to find the discussion and sign the pledge.

The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework and outside readings when permitted. Please make sure to ask your instructor for approval. Do not assume that you can use outside readings. The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. It should present your answer(s) to the question(s) asked clearly and concisely in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

 Academic Policies ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) has adopted a Philosophy of Academic Integrity (https://www.umgc.edu/current- students/learning-resources/academic-integrity/philosophy.cfm)to guide the university’s commitment to a culture of academic integrity and authentic education encompassing a set of dispositions and behaviors that are socially beneficial, educationally critical, and professionally necessary.

All members of the University community must maintain the highest level of integrity across the academic experience. For students, intellectually honest academic work represents independent analysis, acknowledges all sources of information that contribute to the ideas being explored, and ensures the ability to engage in life and work authentically. Your instructor is your primary resource for how to uphold the highest ethical standards in the context of this course’s specific requirements.

Turnitin is enabled within the classroom to support the development and assessment of authentic student writing. To learn more
