"College Board's Revised AP African American Studies Course: What's New and Why?"

The College Board has released an updated framework for its new Advanced Placement African American Studies course, addressing previous criticism and adding more material on topics such as the Tulsa Race Massacre and redlining. The course, which gained attention earlier this year when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to ban it, will officially launch next academic year. The revisions include the inclusion of works on feminism and intersectionality, as well as the addition of Black female writers. The College Board faced criticism for removing certain topics from the exam, but the latest changes aim to provide a comprehensive and unflinching encounter with the subject matter.
