| Kenneth Campbell, an associate professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, and Bobby Donaldson, an assistant professor in the Department of History and African American Studies Program, were among 25 scholars recently selected to participate in a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institute for College and University Teachers at Harvard University.
Campbell's current research projects include a study of Nathaniel Frederick, a pioneering African-American lawyer in South Carolina and an editor for the Palmetto Leader newspaper.
Donaldson teaches courses in African-American history and is completing a biography of William Jefferson White, a Georgia minister, newspaper editor, and the founder of Morehouse College. With leading scholars as facilitators, the institute seeks to create a broad historical framework for considering the political and social struggles of African Americans. A major goal of the institute is to introduce teachers to new and recent scholarship that will enable them to integrate civil rights studies more fully into the mainstream of U.S. history from the Reconstruction era through the 1960s.
