This blog accompanies the Introduction to African-American Studies course at The University of Kentucky. The course is an interdisciplinary course, which establishes the intellectual context for an examination of the African-American experience; it introduces students to the various approaches scholars use to analyze that experience.
Great discussion and it's refreshing to see MY campus and MY people wanting to talk about our issues and what we can do to start the change. Well executed and great insightful conversations. Also saddened me though, that our coming together is due to the wrongful death of one of our very own.
I thought the Ferguson discussion was a great look into the activities in Ferguson as well as similar events that have occurred throughout America, even though the women that have been affected by similar events were not mentioned. It was good to see what the mindset of this campus is concerning said events. If our community came together, without drama, more often I wonder how the atmosphere of UK would change.
I actually attended this event, and I must say I was extremely proud by the turn out. It is always so amazing to see people come together for justice. I also enjoyed how people of every race and culture came out, it wasn't just an African American issue, its an issue that impacts everyone.
