Professional Summary
I am a Ph.D. candidate in history concentrating on public history. My dissertation explores the institutional formation of the Black Public history in the late twentieth century the longstanding effort among Black Americans to collect, preserve, interpret, and popularize the Black experiences in the past within the public sphere. My projects particularly follow the life and work of Carroll Greene Jr. (1931 - 2007), a distinguished yet lesser-known Black museum consultant and preservationist, as a guide and window into the Black public history practices and disciplines.
