“I’ve decided to use this kind opportunity you’ve offered to me to deliver the last academic lecture of my career. My talk is a retrospective of how the thick terrain of Black Cultural Studies became my academic focus, how living through the age of Toni Morrison mattered to my personal evolution as a scholar and writer, and how fact, fiction, and identity have been its shape-shifting accompaniments.”

- Dr. Holloway
