Drew University Moodle

History of African American Church Music is an elective, three credit, one semester course. Its primary goals are to:

1. Learn and appreciate the music of the African American Christian experience from colonial times to the present.
2. Understand the socio-political, and religious context in which the African American Church came into being and exists today.
3. Gain insight into how this music has been used to resist oppression and empower African Americans and their allies.

Each class meeting we will seek to accomplish these goals by
*Listening and singing the music of the Black Church
*Reading the assigned texts,
*Active participation in class discussions
*Class Presentations
*Lead Worship in Chapel
