For the first time in academic history, high school students across the nation now have the option to take an African American Advanced Placement course.
“AP African American Studies will introduce a new generation of students to the amazingly rich cultural, artistic, and political contributions of African Americans,” said Trevor Packer, senior vice president of AP and instruction at the College Board. “We hope it will broaden the invitation to Advanced Placement and inspire students with a fuller appreciation of the American story.”
One of the schools to offer the African American AP course this fall is Florida State University Schools in Tallahassee, taught by social studies instructor Marlon Williams-Clark. Clark, 35, told NBC News he first heard about the course in March, when he was appointed to teach it. He started teaching two African American AP courses on Aug. 8 to predominately Black juniors and seniors.
