“A challenging, original, and exacting intellectual, Martin Kilson was also a generous, supportive teacher and mentor. His unforgettable voice permeates this memoir, which recreates the world as he found it and then transformed it. The field of African and African American Studies owes a profound debt to his unyielding demand for scholarly rigor and also to his faith in its centrality to higher education.” — Henry Louis Gates Jr.
