	"description": "Application deadline: March 15, 2026, 11:59 PM / Note: Course is in person only The Long Civil Rights Movement Instructor: Jerrod MacFarlane Dates: Alt. Thursdays, 7–8:30pm • February 4, February 18, March 4, March 18, 2026 Location: Westside YMCA, Rm. 201, 5 West 63rd Street, New York, NY 10023 Course cost: $35 DSA members / $45 nonmembers Course Description: This course will explore the framework that expanded our understanding of the Civil Rights Movement beyond the traditional 1954–1968 and southern boundaries, showing the continuities with a longer lineage of organizing (in the south and north) and its relevance to contemporary social movements. Moving past a spontaneous and short-lived understanding of the movement to seeing deep linkages with earlier anti-lynching organizing, the organizing of sharecroppers, and then later its development of the Black Power Movement, this course will show the ways political modes of thought, organizing structures and strategies, and social relationships evolve and build or impede social progress. It will also explore the use of the Civil Rights Movement as a political cudgel against contemporary social movements, and how this is predicated on the narrow view of the movement and its origins. Sessions will follow a generally chronological approach, beginning primarily with the 1930s (but touching on the beginning of the century) and then working through the 1970s. We will explore topics and themes that will include: economic rights in concert or tension with civil rights; internationalism and black nationalism (ideas of citizenship); political and ideological tendencies within the civil rights movement; state surveillance and cooptation; connections between northern and southern civil rights organizing; the intersections of race, class, and gender; major political organizations and figures; movement capture, and more.
