The African American Oratorical Tradition
AFAM 328 SP

The African American Oratorical Tradition examines the manner in which oratory--in the form of speeches, sermons, and in fiction and poetry--has been a significant and powerful force in African American life. We will trace the development of oratory from the 18th century to the present, paying close attention to the major political, cultural and religious debates that have framed it.
