Beyond the Civil War and Reconstruction With Jonathan Holloway

Published: January 7, 2013 1 comment

Many of you have viewed the Open Yale Course on the Civil War and Reconstruction taught by David Blight.  It’s a wonderful opportunity to take a survey course with one of the nation’s most respected Civil War scholars.  I am currently making my way through Professor Jonathan Holloway’s course, African American History: From Emancipation to the Present.  Below is the first lecture.  [Interested in the American Revolution? Check out Joanne Freeman’s course.]

    Pretty interesting lectures.. Holloway focuses on later eras.. Kind of eye opener to me. Having lived thru the era had a different perception of black panthers, dr king, etc
