BU Today featured AFAM course expansion in a newly released article. The program’s long term goals include expanding the graduate curriculum and becoming an official undergraduate major. “This spring the program offers the new course Resistance, Revolution and Slavery taught by Maurice Lee. In addition, students this spring could take The Afro-Latino Memoir and come fall, the program will offer African American Literature and the Classical Tradition, as well as Latinx Identities, Families and Communities. Students taking two courses outside of the program will now receive program credit: The College of Fine Arts course Music of Black Americans and the College of Communication’s Race and Gender in the News Media” (Barlow).
