The College Board has released the official framework for a new Advanced Placement course in African American Studies, which has been praised by academics and historians but has also become a target for lawmakers. The 221-page framework includes an overview of topics such as the history of African American people, the civil rights movement, and the contributions of African Americans to the United States. The course is set to be available in the 2021-2022 school year and will provide students with an opportunity to gain college credit and a better understanding of African American history and culture.
