HIST 30 The Black Sporting Experience

This course examines the historical and contemporary sporting experiences primarily of Black Americans. The decision to refer to this class as a “Black” experience is deliberate, as we will briefly interrogate how race and sports functions for the Black diaspora in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. Despite brief examinations of the diaspora, this class uses sports history as a critical lens to understand American history.
