This class has definitely helped me gain an incentive to work towards confronting institutionalized racism, discrimination, to blatant racism. Although we did not cover extensively about it in class, I feel that it was just enough to lay the foundations to help others work towards confronting it.
I learned about disability as discrimination to music as segregation. It would not have occurred to me that swing dance was "whitened". I always thought of it as a white thing in the 1920's...
Overall, I was satisfied with the course - I thought instead of lecturing for an hour and twenty minutes, presenting music and clips were an invigorating and welcoming approach.
