The 欧美视频 will present Hidden Histories, a class designed
for high-school students, March 8 through May 7. The online course will dive into
African American history by exploring the legacy of the late actor Chadwick Boseman.
The engaging and experiential class showcases eight films starring Boseman including
his portrayal of Jackie Robinson in 鈥42,鈥 James Brown in 鈥淕et on Up鈥 and Thurgood
Marshall in 鈥淢arshall鈥 as well as the box office hit 鈥淏lack Panther.鈥 Students will
have an entire week to watch each film and then share their responses through an online
discussion board. An added feature to Hidden Histories will be a guest lecture by
UCM alum Dr. Jesse Adolph of Perimeter College discussing the Black Panther comic
series.
Offered by the UCM History Program, the course provides three hours of college credit.
Hidden Histories is discounted at $89.90 per credit hour for high-school students.
Since UCM is a regionally accredited institution, Hidden Histories will transfer to
the majority of United States universities.
