Bio: I am an historian of postwar New York City, specifically interested in the civil rights and Black Power movements in the city and how municipal administrations and white residents responded to them. My book manuscript, The Heart of the City: Civil Rights, Resistance and Police Reform in New York City, 1945-1966, looks at the black rebellions that rocked the city in July 1964, the first of the 1960s urban uprisings, and traces their causes and outcomes and what the events say about race relations in the North and government commitment to racial equality. I earned my Ph.D. at Rutgers University. |
