GLASS: A charge to expand African-American education in our nation’s colleges
There is a wide variety of enlightening courses to take in the Department of African American Studies as well as courses in other departments related to black history. Unfortunately, many students will leave the University after four years without having taken a single one. As such, requiring African American Studies in all colleges — especially at predominantly white institutions — is necessary. Because there is so much for students to take away from these classes that they cannot get elsewhere, African-American Studies courses should not only be encouraged, but required.
