Princeton University is offering a Black Lives Matter course, which will teach students about the "historical roots and growth of the Black Lives Matter social movement." Starting this fall semester, Princeton University students can enroll in the "#BlackLivesMatter" course, which will feature readings from a former Black Panther member and avowed Marxist, as reported by The College Fix.
The course description reads:
This seminar traces the historical roots and growth of the Black Lives Matter social movement in the United States and comparative global contexts. The movement and course are committed to resisting, unveiling, and undoing histories of state sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies. The course seeks to document the forms of dispossession that Black Americans face, and offers a critical examination of the prison industrial complex, police brutality, urban poverty, and white supremacy in the US.
The course includes readings from Angela Davis' book "Freedom is a Constant Struggle." Davis is an avowed Marxist, former Black Panther member, two-time vice-presidential candidate of the Communist Party USA, and was awarded the International Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union.
