CBSN
The College Board says changes will be made to its new Advanced Placement African American studies course after critics said the agency bowed to political pressure and removed several topics from the framework, including Black Lives Matter, slavery reparations and queer life.
In a statement on Monday, the board said the development committee and experts charged with authoring the AP course "will determine the details of those changes over the next few months."
"We are committed to providing an unflinching encounter with the facts and evidence of African American history and culture," the company said.
