Greetings,
As an adult what do you say when your child asks you: “Mum, my teacher says that European Slave Traders civilised us! Is this true?”
What would your response be to this question?
All are welcome to attend this fascinating five week short course on ‘Transatlantic Enslavement: What really happened?’
This is a course of 5 lectures that addresses transatlantic enslavement. In the wake of the 2007 celebrations we ask:
What impact did the Slave Trade have on Africans?
What impact did it have on the Native Americans?
What impact did it have on Europeans?
What was Black history during this period?
What was Africa like before and after this experience?
Who was primarily responsible for the Slave Trade?
Finally, we ask: Who was responsible for ending mass enslavement?
All of the classes are two-hour cutting edge PowerPoint presentations. The course will run for five weeks, one lecture per week starting on Sunday 5th July 2009 from 2.15pm to 4.15pm at PCS Learning Centre, 3rd Floor, 231 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, SW1V 1EH (5 minutes walk from Victoria Station). The course costs £60 per person. Reading lists and handouts are provided.
This course will be repeated on Wednesday evenings starting Wednesday 12th August 2009
‘Transatlantic Enslavement: What really happened?’ is a highly accessible programme that is also rigorous and content-laden. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject areas, but the adult student is taken through an avalanche of documented information on the rich legacy of great civilisations.
Feedback from delegates who attended the course in 2008 on their overall experience are below:
"The course went beyond my expectations, left me with a thirst to learn more"
"Excellent. I came into an environment that was relaxing and comfortable which enabled me to learn and gain knowledge"
"Robin opened my eyes where before they had been shut. Many things discussed put a completely new light on the history I had been taught in school and put into context with the 'European' version I had been exposed to."
There are many reasons why one may be interested in such a course. Some may wish to study the Black experience in a systematic way. Others may be teachers who need the information to benefit their pupils. Others may be parents who need the information for their children. Some may wish to pursue the subject as a leisure interest.
Whatever the reason, please come along.
Places on this course are limited. Places are available on a strictly first come, first served basis and we anticipate that there will be a lot of demand for this course. If you would like to attend this course, please contact us for a booking form at http://uk.mc245.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=info@blackhistorystudies.com
