In this four-part series led by Kathie Dowd Gulotta, we’ll explore the role of empathy in social-cultural transformation as we examine U.S. history through the eyes of black writers, including James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Isabelle Wilkerson, Nathan McCall, Barbara Holmes, and Ibram X. Kendi. The title of the course comes from a 1903 book written by Massachusetts native W.E.B. Dubois.
