TEACHING INTERESTS: In addition to our department's survey course on the black experience, I teach the civil rights movement, the Harlem Renaissance, and black thought. In the next several semesters, I would like to introduce courses on black politics and African American biography and autobiography. I am on the faculty advisory board of the Office of Undergraduate Research, and I am a firm believer that all undergraduates should have such an experience at least once in their time at Carolina.

RESEARCH INTERESTS: So far my research has concentrated on 20th century African American history, with a special emphasis on the varieties of black intellectual and political thought and action and the connections between African Americans and the world. I am the author of Rayford W. Logan and the Dilemma of the African American Intellectual (1993), which is a biography of a prominent and important scholar and Pan-African activist; . I am also completing a biography of Walter White, who was a Harlem Renaissance author and who was the head of the NAACP from 1930 to his death in 1955. I have written several articles on these two historical figures, as well as an article on African American intellectuals and their relations with their French-speaking black counterparts during the 1920s and 1930s.

OTHER INTERESTS: I love baseball, both watching it and playing it. I also have a busy family life, what with a spouse and two young children.
