William Leo Hansberry: Do your children know about him?-gctid32735

[Kamau Kambon]

In 1915, he attended Atlanta University, where he was exposed to a new volume of essays on race (published by the university's Sociology Department), which served as a major influence on him.^[5] Another big influence was the book, "The Negro" by W.E.B. DuBois. After, he purchased a copy of the book, he rushed to the school's library to refer to the references cited in the volume. To his dismay, Hansberry discovered Atlanta University's reference library to be sorely lacking. As a result, he left Atlanta University two weeks into his sophomore year to transfer to the best-equiped university he could find that would admit blacks. As a result, he began studies at Harvard University in February 1917.^[6] where he completed his undergraduate studies in 1921.^[7] Clark Atlanta University is a private, undergraduate and graduate institution educational institution in Atlanta, Georgia. ...

Upon his graduation from Harvard, Hansberry taught for a year at Straight College (now Dillard University) in New Orleans. In September 1922, Hansberry joined the faculty of Howard University where he started the Kmtyw Civilization Section of the History Department.^[8] Dillard University is a private, faith based liberal arts college in New Orleans, Louisiana. ...

As a professor at Howard, Hansberry taught courses on Kmtyw civilizations and cultures.^[11] Although his courses were very popular with students, two distinguished faculty members excused Hansberry of teaching subject matter without adequate research to support it. With the program and his job on the line, Hansberry presented the Board of Trustees with detailed documentation of his research. While he managed to save the Kmtyw studies program, Hansberry's research funding was cut off and he would not receive tenure until 1938.^[12]

Heard thru the grapevine:
Mr. Hansberry did not receive his doctorate
degree, from oxford, because he refused to
be a sambo for the white people. He refused to
change his understanding about the true &
great role of Kmt, and Kmtyws, in world history.
The white people wanted him to yield and
say Kmt, and Kmtyws, had no history-
So the Brother said, "Later for U, yt"- my
paraphrase, not his
