We also spend time with The College Board's Dr. Brandi Waters talking about the new AP African American Studies course. It is a college-level interdisciplinary introductory course that covers the history and experiences of African Americans in the United States within the broader context of the African diaspora. Students will explore diverse topics such as early African societies and the roots of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Great Migration and the Civil Rights Movement, and the Black is Beautiful movement of the 1970s. This revised framework will be used when the course is formally launched in the 2024-25 academic year.
