💞Students will be taught in a lecture and discussion style that uses Nearpod! 💞We will talk about the significance of African American hair through the centuries, essentially seeing the events or time periods from the perspective of hair! We will start with African hair styles, move on to slavery, the roaring twenties, civil rights/black power movements, infamous court cases, pop culture, what America is seeing now in terms of natural hair and natural hair appreciation!...
Students will understand more on why African American hair is often criticized and its affects.
For my B.A in History, my Capstone (final paper) was done on the history of African American hair. The research paper was about how deeply tangled black hair was in American history.

This course is considered a politically sensitive topic because we are talking about the politicization of African American hair. When African Americans wore their hair anyway that was not in the Eurocentric fashion, it was seen as almost a disrespect and a statement African Americans were trying to make.
We will use nearpod for an interactive class experience.
