LS 324 - Civil Rights 3 hours
The Declaration of Independence boldly proclaimed “all men are created equal,” yet the Constitution obliquely condoned the enslavement of “other persons.” Even after the Civil War, states in the north and south imposed a system of legal segregation whose effects linger today. Similarly, women continue to struggle for equality almost a century after the passage of the 19th Amendment. This course will examine both the progress and the remaining challenges to true equality we face, with a particular focus on contemporary issues like affirmative action, gay rights and religious conflict.
