African & African American History Class - From Africa to Black Power
Event Information
About this Event
School has started, and many schools, including community colleges and universities are virtual. However, neither in-person or virtual lessons have done a good job teaching African & African American history, or the history of Black people throughout the diaspora.
Therefore, historian and educator Jamon Jordan of Black Scroll Network History & Tours has started a monthly virtual class on African & American History. The class consists of 10 monthly lessons that will take us from the African origin of humanity to the election of Barack Obama, and how all of this history is connected.
The first lecture is Wednesday, September 16th from 7-9pm. Every lecture after that is scheduled for the second Monday of the month from 7-9pm.
Two days prior to the lecture, a Zoom link will be sent you via email. Please check the email you gave when you registered for the event.
The first lecture will be recorded and if you miss it, you may have it sent to you.
If a lecture is cancelled due to unforeseen reasons, it will be rescheduled for the following day, and you will receive a notice via email. If you cannot make the rescheduled lecture, you can request to receive a recorded lecture via email, or you can receive a refund.
Refunds are only available if the lecture is cancelled or rescheduled.
Refunds take about 10-14 days to process.
All live lectures will conclude with a Q&A for 15-20 minutes.
Fee: $25 per class
