SAN ANTONIO – An African American studies course is gradually being incorporated into school districts across the state.
Districts that are already on board include the San Antonio Independent School District, Judson Independent School District and most recently, the North East Independent School District.
A team of historians, professors, and policy makers hope that it will put a brighter spotlight when it comes to black history.
Lawrence Scott, assistant professor of educational leadership at Texas A&M San Antonio, was a part of that initiative.
He said the goal is not just to teach students about civil rights icons, but help them understand the deeper meaning behind their work.
