Mes de la Historia Afroamericana: la intersección entre la raza y la ley

Learning about the law and pivotal cases is inspirational.  Who knows - through learning, students may be inspired to effect positive change in the world, or attend law school later in life. We will learn about landmark cases such as the 1954 Supreme Court decision that ended segregation in public schools (Brown v. Board of Education).  We will also learn about the 1967 case in which the Supreme Court said it will no longer allow states to ban interracial marriage (Loving v. Virginia).  

I will structure my course by outlining the elements of each case, and then discussing how they were decided by referencing the Constitution.  

In the end, students will be asked to identify something they would like to change in the world.  Students will be enhancing their analytical and speech skills in this class through applying their knowledge and sharing.  This class will instill confidence in students to believe in their ideas, and convey them with clarity.
