During Black History Month, Black History, Black Freedom, and Black Love – an unprecedented three-part class that explores the American History you weren’t taught in school – is available to stream for free on MasterClass.com. We’ve also teamed up with Amazon in the U.S. to stream the class on Prime Video and IMDb TV. Learn from seven of today’s preeminent Black voices to gain a foundational understanding of the history of white supremacy and discover a path forward.
From critical race theory to the 1619 Project, Black intellectuals are reshaping conversations on race in America. Now seven of those preeminent voices share their insight on the reckoning with race in America in three parts: past, present, and future. Gain a foundational understanding of the history of white supremacy and discover a path forward through the limitless capacity and resilience of Black love.
MasterClass believes in the power of knowledge and learning to heal and help build a better world, so we are working to make this programming freely available in 2022. For those who wish to access MasterClass for their nonprofit organization, please see the Grants page.
