In Memoriam Dr. Rudolph P. Byrd, Goodrich C. White Professor of American Studies, died Oct. 21, 2011 after a long battle with cancer. Byrd was the founder and director of Emory’s James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference, which fosters new scholarship, teaching and public dialogue on the history and enduring legacy of the fight for civil and human rights. Most recently he helped inaugurate a partnership with Emory, the Center for Civil and Human Rights and CNN, by formulating a community forum program on contemporary civic issues called CNN Dialogues. *Courtesy of emory.edu
