This pen-and-ink piece is not part of my ongoing series, but... I really did have to post a tribute to the groundbreaking work of Dr. Quintard Taylor, whom we lost this past month. Among his many other achievements and publications, Dr. Taylor founded BlackPast.org, which has so often been my best and most comprehensive source of information, for these biographies. I cannot recommend this resource highly enough, for anyone wishing to undertake this kind of study. Thank you Dr. Taylor, and rest in peace sir.
