“Outside the classroom, Dr. Carr was a very key figure for my own intellectual development and radical commitment to the work of freeing our people,” senior Africana Studies major Samuel Anthony told the publication. “He’s always been there helping me stay aligned to the mission of Africana Studies as its own disciplinary formation. We have our own ways of studying, researching, reviewing ourselves and centering ourselves.”
