Upon completion of the course, the students will:
• Gain an appreciation of the richness, diversity, and contributions of the ALL of the people of the nation's foundation
• Reaffirm the fact that civilization in the United States is not the result of the work and energy of one people, but is the result of the contributions of many groups.
• Develop a knowledge of important people, events, and ideas that have played a key role in shaping the history and culture of the United States.
• Impact of racism, sexism, and colonialism – individual and institutional – on the creation of the United States
• Significant and continuous role of women, Indigenous People, and African Americans, in the American experience.
