Students sift through archival records in Meadville, interview Black Meadville residents, and work in collaboration with Black Meadville residents to construct action oriented projects that highlight community assets and address needs. Course participants investigate the stories of Black public school students, recent residents, and long-term Meadville residents. By semesters end, Allegheny students understand the importance of critical citizenship and question which Meadville voices are vital to local, public discourse(s).
