HIST 2315 Equality State Gender & Ethnicity
This course explores the racial, religious and cultural divides that have sometimes created chasms between diverse groups of Wyoming's inhabitants from prehistoric times to the present, and attempts to bridge those gaps. It dissects race relations between Caucasian, Native-, Asian-, Latin-, and African American groups including Wyoming's extraordinary lynching heritage. It assesses gender-based divides in this place known as "the birthplace of women's suffrage," as well as the crucial feminine role in opening South Pass and catalyzing the Great Migration of wagon trains across the continent.
