In the fall of 1969, he entered Howard University -- one of the nation's most prestigious black institutions of higher learning -- at a time of increasing enrollment of black students in formerly all- or predominantly-white colleges and universities, and consequent considerable public debate over the future need for black colleges and universities to exist. The prior year, in the spring of 1968, student-led demonstrations at Howard, sparked in part by rumors that the university's administration was actively engaged in efforts to end the school's status as a "black" institution, culminated in a two-week long student occupation of the school's administration building which made national headlines, and inspired one popular magazine to dub the school "the breeding ground for black revolutionaries". It was this politically-charged atmosphere that formed the backdrop to his student years at Howard, a time indelibly seared on his consciousness.
He spent his junior year abroad at The London School of Economics, and returned to graduate from Howard in the spring of 1973 (B.A., Economics, Summa Cum Laude). Subsequently, he earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Economics at Princeton University, and has been a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Harvard University. For the last thirty years he has sought to indulge his dual passions -- entrepreneurship and literature. Currently, he makes his home in Stamford, CT with his wife, their two children, and their beloved canine.показать меньше
