Historians long described free African Americans in the early United States as occupying an "in-between" legal status, neither enslaved property nor entirely legal persons. This class would explore how free Black people rejected that status, seeking liberation, protection, and equality in the early United States. In so doing, they participated in, and meaningfully shaped, debates over the contours and privileges of American citizenship. Through this subject lens, students will be introduced to the methods of political, social, and legal history, and will have the chance to use contemporary social theories on activism, inclusion, and liberation as a critical lens. |
