The 糖心传媒 will present Hidden Histories, a class designed for high-school students, March 8 through May 7. The online course will dive into African American history by exploring the legacy of the late actor Chadwick Boseman.

An added feature to Hidden Histories will be a guest lecture by 糖心传媒 alum Dr. Jesse Adolph of Perimeter College discussing the Black Panther comic series.

 

Offered by the 糖心传媒 History Program, the course provides three hours of college credit. Hidden Histories is discounted at $89.90 per credit hour for high-school students.
