I'm a historian of race, rights, and media. Much of my work focuses on the Black Press and histories of Black Chicago, although I've researched and taught broadly on modern American and European history.
I am the author of Ebony Magazine and Lerone Bennett Jr.: Popular Black History in Postwar America (University of Illinois Press, 2020), A House for the Struggle: The Black Press and the Built Environment in Chicago (University of Illinois Press, 2022), and Our Kind of Historian: The Work and Activism of Lerone Bennett Jr. (University of Massachusetts Press, 2022). I'm currently writing a history of the modern Black Press for Edinburgh University Press. Please browse this site to find out more about my work, or use the form below to get in contact. |
