Students in Fall History 2020 pause for a photograph with Dr. Dennis. Students demonstrate the intersections of class, gender, and race in the history of Los Angeles, and in comparison, to the broader national narrative.
Students in History 2050 (fall 2019) celebrate processing forty-two boxes from the Mervyn M. Dymally Collection. Through this opportunity students build an understanding of archival processing and the importance of preservation.
Students work in small groups and independently evaluating the contents of the Mervyn M. Dymally Papers. Students practice primary source evaluation, historical contextualization, visual, and digital literacy skills.
