Abstract
The purpose of this course is to attain a fundamental understanding of the diverse experiences of working-class blacks in the United States. Ranging from slavery to current affirmative action issues, we will examine various explanations on why blacks historically have lagged behind whites in the work place. Also, we will discuss ways in which blacks responded to their inferior job status. The primary avenues that we will investigate these issues are through culture, politics, and resistance.
