Courses cover such topics as anthropology; black literature; black studies; black literature of the South; Afro-American writers of the South; ethnic studies; Afro-American studies; Southern black culture; the role of Southern black colleges; the black in American history; black American poetry and drama; art, music, and literature; the history and appreciation of music; black heritage; black politics; and ethno-cultural influences in the development of self-concept.
