Winners Never Quit. MArguerite Rogers Howie

“Little has been written on the life of African-American scholars working in traditionally black colleges and less has been written on the struggles of African-American women scholars. This work provides a lens through which we are able to get a glimpse of the struggles, divisions, conflicts, tensions, and solidarity that characterized African-American faculty at traditionally black colleges in the South. Just as macro-level history is most accessible through the close exami- nation of one person’s experiences in a particular social-historical context, so too the tensions at historically black colleges, the concerns of black in- tellectual elite, and the status of structure of the black academic commu- nity during the time of the desegragation of white colleges, all come alive in Professor Morgan’s work.” Steven Worden, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Arkansas. “This book chronicles and captures the essence of the tribulations experi enced by Black scholars and faculty in higher education from the 1900s to the present…Hundreds of Black scholars of Higher Education (in- cluding this reader) can relate to, and identify with, Professor Morgan’s comprehesive research and the history he has covered.
