Students and Teachers Say AP African American Studies Course Was a Success Despite the Controversy
The first year of the College Board’s AP African American Studies pilot in 60 high schools nationwide is wrapping up, and next year, 800 schools in more than 40 states will be offering the course. The College Board announced on April 24 that it will be making changes to the curriculum, but did not specify what those changes might be.
Reynolds’ teacher Don Singleton says the students have been most engaged in the lessons on the history of Africa. “If you show the greatness of Africans, African empires, perhaps white people wouldn’t see African and African American peoples as less than,” he says. Further north in Oakland, California, Tony Green also introduced his students to a side of the Jim Crow South rarely talked about in schools, including the success of Alonzo Herndon, one of the first Black millionaires.
