The Black Curriculum: Developing a Program in Afro-American Studies
This book attempts to present a documented and comprehensive chronology of a recent effort to secure a black curriculum in a large, urban community; to offer a blueprint for uplifting the black man in America; and, to incite society to change. The main body of the book is devoted to laying out a black educational program and curriculum. Among the topics discussed are the following: (1) the role of semantics in the perpetuation of racism; (2) the recruitment of black teachers; (3) the Afro-American Studies Program at Merritt College; (4) developing relevant course content and activities at all levels of education; (5) the role of black educators; (6) the role of white educators; and (7) counseling black students. Included in the text are short poems and interviews.
The architectural brilliance of The Black Curriculum: Developing a Program in Afro-American Studies resides in its meticulously crafted prose. Sidney Walton Jr. has delivered a manuscript that transcends its genre, offering a profound reflection on the human condition that lingers long after the final page is turned.
