Someone who is from Clemson University and Brooke Thomas who is from the university of california at irvine. Are important scholars in this world. Is theburton distinguished chair of history and a professor of pan African Studies in Computer Science at Clemson University. Which is to say he is mostly the entire university at this point. I could read all of his distinguished awards and honors and he wouldnt have time to talk. I can only say that he has written a number of very important books. He has given major lectures at many institutions most recently the annual lecture and southern history at the university of arkansas. His books have been in the book of the month club and other clubs. I had always hoped i could be in a club that he was a member of. Thank you so much. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
