Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Oregon/Black and Brown Power Movements (Winter 2018)

ES 440/540 examines race, literature, and culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. In this class, we are studying the U.S. Black and Brown Power Movements of the 1960s and 1970s as a basis for understanding some of the key issues that emerged from this period of U.S. racial history. This course considers the causes and goals, successes and failures, aspirations, and limits of Black Power and Brown Power Movements during the 1960s and 1970s.

Students' contributions to Wikipedia give them an opportunity to contribute to the encyclopedia's coverage of these controversial movements and their multiple contexts.
