20th Century

The class is almost full.  The course is open to the general public and
Duke, Central, and UNC undergraduate and graduate students may take the
class for course credit.

Location:  Hayti Heritage Center
804 Old Fayetteville Street, Durham

Through the lens of documentary traditions in the American South, this
course will engage in a call and response between black and white cultures
in a region where democracy has been envisioned and embattled with global
consequences. The course will cover history and culture as documented in
spirituals, gospel, blues, and rock & roll; civil rights photography;
Southern literature; and historical and autobiographical writing. Readings
will include work by historians W.E.B. Du Bois, C. Vann Woodward, John Hope
Franklin, and others and the literary achievements of Richard Wright, Zora
Neal Hurston, and Ernest Gaines along with their white counterparts: William
Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Lillian Smith, and others. Classes will include
lectures, music, poetry, film clips, discussion, and visitors. Open to Duke,
UNC, and NCCU students, and members of the general public.

OFFERED BY THE CENTER FOR DOCUMENTARY STUDIES AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

Led by North Carolina¹s own TIM TYSON (Blood Done Sign My Name), senior
scholar at the Center for Documentary Studies, the course will furnish a
wide front porch on Southern history. Weekly lecture, interviews, live
music, poetry, dramatic performances, film clips, and opportunities for
discussion.
