Teaching Africa began in Spring 2005. A common reading was selected for the campus that included excerpts from a famous slave narrative by Equiano entitled, “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African: Written by Himself” from the book, The Classic Slave Narratives, edited by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Throughout, many classes included Africa-related assignments, African artifacts and articles on current events in Africa were on display, each semester ended with student presentations of final projects, and speakers and other events took place.
Teaching Africa extended until the end of Spring 2016.
A list of speakers and events will be posted below the picture link to the Teaching Africa photo album.
