| It is a great subject, and Dr. Eatmon is a good professor, but the course is often so demanding reading–wise, that it is hard to continually enjoy what you're learning. |
| You will learn an incredible amount of a diverse American history but be prepared to be able to actively engage with all the readings assigned. |
| The course is really engaging! The readings are dense but worth doing to enrich your understanding of these vital periods in American history. I was able to really break out of the "Black–white binary" that often precludes much of the race discussions in the US. |
| Dr. Eatmon is a gifted, kind, and brilliant instructor with an encyclopedic knowledge of her field. Take this course for a more thorough understanding of how race and the law were constructed in the U.S. |
| I loved this course, but I must say it was the hardest class I've taken at Harvard. Professor Eatmon is one of the smartest minds a student at Harvard could have access too and I highly recommend anyone who loves history and Black history to take it. The only way to enjoy the course is to lock in and actually do the readings, so if you're having one of those semesters where you won't read, this class will become your worst nightmare. You should always come to class because professor takes very intense role call and you lose slight points for being late. She can be tough, but when you are in the class itself it feels very peaceful and leave feeling stronger as a historian. |
