Course Description

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” according to activist and writer WEB DuBois. In 1898, Americans manufactured a “splendid little war” with Spain over Cuba, and much more. With the storming of San Juan Hill, the U.S. entered a new era of imperialism abroad, and progressive reform at home. Progressives sought prohibition and women’s suffrage; but race riots, labor protests, a red scare and a fundamentalist response to social Darwinism threatened to tear society apart. A Harlem Renaissance, a “lost generation” and the 1920s Jazz Age would come to a crash.
