Description: Prerequisite: Junior standing and any 2000-level African and African-American Studies class. This course examines the unique interrelationships that encouraged black migration into Oklahoma prior to statehood. The experience of African Americans in Oklahoma is characterized by the chattel slavery exercised by members of the five civilized tribes, a legacy of military service and law enforcement, organized efforts to establish Oklahoma as an all-black state, significant socio-political activity (led primarily by editors of black newspapers) and a number of historic cultural contributions. This course will provide an in-depth exploration of the historic interrelationships, socio-political activism, economic development and culture of black Oklahomans, (Irreg.)
