"Revised AP African American Studies Course Emphasizes Sports, Racial Justice, and Avoids Controversial Topics"

The College Board has released the finalized curriculum for the Advanced Placement African American Studies course, which will launch in the 2024-25 school year. The course, which faced criticism from conservative lawmakers, has undergone revisions to include more foundational perspectives and historically accurate content. The curriculum covers the origins of the African diaspora, slavery, community development, and political and social movements. It also mentions figures like Colin Kaepernick and Kimberlé Crenshaw. The course was developed with input from African American Studies scholars, AP teachers, and experts over three years.
