This course studies the histories of musical cultures and industries in Africa during an age of advancing communications networks and the seemingly ever-increasing democratization of technology. It analyzes cultural trends, such as the development of High Life and Afropop, in the context of anti-colonial and anti-apartheid movements. It also explores how processes like the evolution of global hip-hop culture and the rise of the internet helped fortify bridges between historically oppressed peoples within and across national and continental boundaries. We will get to know individual people and will recognize those people, as well as regional sounds like HipLife and Bongo Flava, as central agents in African and global history. With the concept of ubuntu as our guide, we will deepen our conscious participation in global pop. Three hours per week.Four semester hours. (H, GN.)

HIST-228. Struggle & Triumph: Modern African American History
This course explores African Americans’ contributions to the cultural, political, economic, and intellectual development of the United States of America and the world. By studying this history, we will learn about the varying perspectives that represent African Americans and gain a greater appreciation of the diversity within their communities. With the help of Africana political theory, this course will complicate our understanding of how the nation’s laws operate in times of calm and crisis, who historically has been entitled to the rights of citizenship and why, and how the nation’s people have viewed difference. We will emphasize African American leadership and participation in social justice activities, and will actively consider the various obligations of individuals, communities, citizens, and governments. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (H, DN.)
Note: Students who have completed HIST-223 may not register for HIST-228.

Bringing up Bomberger
If these walls could talk, what tales would they tell? As one of the oldest buildings on campus, Bomberger Hall holds a special place in Ursinus history, and therefore the renovation it will soon undergo is that of a campus treasure.
There were (and are) older buildings in the college's history. Freeland Hall, where Myrin Library now stands, was the original college building. To the west, on Pfahler's site, was the first Olevian Hall, an old Victorian farmhouse that became a women's dormitory. And of course a number of the houses on Main Street that the college has acquired and used over the years are older than Bomberger. What makes Bomberger special is that it was the first structure built expressly for Ursinus College.
Freeland Hall, built in 1848, had been the home of an academy, the Freeland Seminary, and the Ursinus Board of Directors acquired it at the time of college's founding in 1869. For several decades, it sufficed despite its lack of central heating or indoor plumbing! Everything - sleep, meals, study, worship, and classes - took place under its roof. As the college's enrollment grew, however, Freeland Hall began to feel cramped. Only some of the students boarded, so it was not so much a lack of beds or places in the dining hall, but after a couple of decades the building could no longer comfortably accommodate student activities or assemblies of the whole student body. The students hankered for a gym in particular, but the Board of Directors knew more was needed.
So, in 1890, Ursinsus's founder and first President, John Henry Augustus Bomberger, approached Philadelphia philanthropist and previous Ursinus benefactor Robert Patterson. Bomberger hoped Patterson would give the estimated total cost of $50,000.00 for the building, but of course fund-raising, then as now, is never so easy. Patterson promised half if the college could raise the other half from other donors. The Board of Directors got to work. When President Bomberger died two months later, they promptly resolved to name the proposed building after him. The portraits of Bomberger, the guiding light behind Ursinus from the beginning, and Robert Patterson, the college's "best friend," have long hung in the building's chapel/auditorium.
