The African Diaspora and the Modern World Conference | Dr. Charles H. Long, Keynote Speaker

“Purity/Danger and Pluralism: The Neglected Meaning of the African Diaspora”

To inaugurate and set the tone for the conference, I invited Dr. Charles H. Long, my graduate school mentor, to give the keynote address. I expected him to be informative and provocative and to put us on the right path with the right attitude. He was, and he did. In his inimitable style, Dr. Long emphasized the diversity of the African Diaspora, challenged the hegemonic attitude U.S. African Americans tend to have vis à vis the larger Diaspora, and asserted the importance of understanding the African Diaspora as key to knowing the Americas.
