Black Womanhood: The Syllabus

This project was created by Jessica Marie Johnson and Martha S. Jones in 2017 for a class at Johns Hopkins University.

This source is an online syllabus for two professors at Johns Hopkins University who both share a passion for the black women in history. On the home page, one will find a handful of books emphasizing black females required for the curriculum as well as workshops and seminars held for the class. The side of the page is where a dropdown menu is placed that transports visitors to different links to websites also geared toward black history and the prominent females in it. Other tabs on this menu offer a brief overview of how to cite sources while another gives information about the two professors behind the curriculum.

Basic knowledge on navigating a website like finding the dropdown menu and clicking on external links. To make use of this website you could also buy the books suggested and try to follow along with the lesson plan at home.

Many colleges are now offering courses geared toward black history and black culture, so, there are many courses and I'm sure many online syllabi to see if searched for, but since none are the exact same this is an original work.

One should understand the fundementals of racism and how is effects black civilians before getting into a course detailing the history of black women.
