The South in Black and White

The South in Black and White is a course offered by the Center of Documentary Studies by Duke University. First of all, they do not have a intro and they just start talking, when the podcast comes on. I think this is a great opportunity and should be offered at all schools. It allows students to reflect on what it means and our role in it today.
Tim Tyson and Tom Rankin were the speakers and they said, "What really matters is public education. Are we citizens together? Do we understand how we go where we are? What are are strengths and weaknesses?" This course will have plays put on and they will have a discussion about the plays. Gospel music will be played every week. There will also be story tellers that will come in. All of this will be to help explore the full richness of the history and culture. This course will be taught at Haiti Heritage Center. This is a public space and also a Historic African American Church. It seats about four hundred people.
This is a great opportunity and should be taught at other schools across the nation. People need to learn from the past, so we can take a full step ahead in our future as a Nation. I'm glad that they are not just teaching straight from a book but rather different aspects of plays, music, stories, and the over all setting at the church. I believe that this is a great thing and other schools need to embrace it!
