DESCRIPTION:Please join us for Dr. Bell's discussion of how Bishop Daniel P
 ayne became the first African American college president in the history of 
 American higher education\, after he purchased Wilberforce University on be
 half of the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church. The sale occurred 
 in March 1863\, just two months after the Emancipation Proclamation. Dr. Be
 ll explains how Payne understood the relationship between emancipation and 
 access to higher education. He will also assess the challenges Payne and ot
 her intellectual activists have faced in trying to institutionalize a visio
 n of Black liberation.
