HISTORY 24SC: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the African American Freedom Struggle

Many of us understand Martin Luther King, Jr. through the lens of his most civil rights activities and his "I Have a Dream" oration at the 1963 March in Washington for Jobs and Freedom. But who was King really? What can we learn about his inner life? To what extent did he actually lead a movement that was beyond the control of any single leader? How did thousands of grassroots activists become a movement that changed the course of history? This course will examine these questions and more by utilizing the vast number of primary source materials of the King Institute. Students will have the opportunity to conduct research and carry out their own individual research projects, which can be traditional papers, multi-media presentations, or even educational websites. Guest speakers may include various experts, such as King Institute scholar-in-residence Clarence Jones, who served as King¿s attorney, adviser, and occasional speechwriter. Sophomore College Course: Application required, due noon, April 7, 2015. Apply at http://soco.stanford.edu.
