Abstract
In this session, the presenters will discuss the instructional development process invoked and their own thought process when creating a new university graduate level course, "Pedagogy, Equality of Opportunity, & Education of Blacks in the U.S (PEOEBUS)." PEOEBUS evolved from a perceived gap in the presenters' own graduate programs of study. While the college and the department could provide strong historical and philosophical foundation curricula, courses lacked a particular focus that was important to intellectual and academic growth regarding the history and education of Black Americans.
