HIST Forum Grading Rubric V2
Class, a new movement has started since the early 2000s, where some political groups are
trying to remove American history from our children’s school curriculum and
textbooks, specifically slave history. These groups also do not want to cover segregation, civil
rights and more. By removing the history that we have just covered in these last eight weeks,
the African American communities are denied their connections to American History and so
are others who would like to learn more about the history of slavery and racial inequality in
America. Recently, African Americans have created movements such as “Black Lives Matter”
to counteract these other groups, have begun to celebrate Juneteenth as “Independence Day”
or “Liberation Day” for African-Americans and have pushed to renew the reparations’
discussion. Many tie slave history to the development of segregation and racism that has
spread throughout our country. A historical trauma has affected generations of African-
Americans because of what their ancestors had to endure just to survive in this country. This
distrust has developed towards different groups, agencies, and organizations. For those who
are not affected, trying to understand what it means to be an African-American in the United
States showcases the need for this history to be taught in all schools and to every American.
Your final discussion is to prepare a speech that would explain to all of America why African
American History from after Reconstruction to the present should be taught.
Explain why every American should know African American history. You will be expected to
use specific facts, events and people that you have learned from this course.
These facts, events, and people must come from your required work this term and from
research in the library or from the course bibliography.
You will, as usual, respond to at least two students. Respond as many times as you want and I
will grade your two best responses.
Do not forget to read the lesson for this week.
Please remember that as this replaces your final exam, you must clearly demonstrate what
you have learned from all the required work starting with Week 2 and ending with Week 7. I
want to see the breath of your knowledge gained in this class. Your grade will primarily be
based on that. You must have at least three posts. Use them to further demonstrate how
much you have learned from the required material and your research.
Remember that this Discussion is worth 10 percent of your grade.
