DISCUSSION 1
Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts.
Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.
For your initial post, address the following:
- Relying on the information found in one or more of the selected readings, identify aspects of history that have been hidden from view in traditional accounts.
- Why is it important to consider diverse perspectives in the interpretation of history?
- How can society positively integrate aspects of history that have been hidden from view?
DISCUSSION 2
You will use at least two readings from different time periods in this module to write your initial post.
For your initial post, address the following:
- Examine the differences between dominant historical narratives and the historical narratives produced from Black witnessing. Focus on the nature of Black witnessing in a particular historical context as opposed to modern political viewpoints.
- Citing any of the module materials from this week, how have Black people demonstrated resiliency and agency as powerful actors in their own right? Here, we can define agency as individual or collective actions that are taken to assume power and control over one’s life experiences and trajectories
