Description
Episode Description
Dr. Roy S. Bryce-Laporte (1933-2012) was a sociologist who established one of the first African-American studies departments. He was born and raised in the Republic of Panama, of a family of mixed West Indian and African ancestry. Bryce-Laporte taught at Hunter College at CUNY and then at Yale, before becoming the founding director of Yale's department of African-American studies, established in 1969. After Yale, Bryce-Laporte taught at a variety of institutions including College of Staten Island at CUNY, Syracuse University, Catholic University of America, Howard University, University of Pennsylvania, and Colorado College. He was the founding director of Smithsonian Institution's Research Institute on Immigration and Ethnic Studies. Here he talks with Del Shields and callers about the reasons for academic programs on Black Studies. Bryce-Laporte also tells callers these programs are not for Black students only, and some classes have many White students enrolled. He hopes the programs will be extended into High Schools as well.
