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.]
The 150th anniversary of one of the most fascinating Civil War battles is fast approaching. Learn about what happened on that bloody day and how the battle has been remembered. Get your signed and discounted copy direct from the author.
"Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation.” –David W. Blight, Yale University

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
