The Return of the Prodigal Couple
The Crimson reports that
Marcyliena Morgan and Lawrence Bobo are returning to Harvard after having decamped to Stanford in January 2005.
Af-Am Chair Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham said that the change of leadership in the University was one factor that made Morgan and Bobo’s return possible. University President Drew G. Faust contacted the couple in person to urge them to return to Harvard, Gates said, and Higginbotham said that Af-Am faculty wooed the pair this summer over dinners in Cambridge and Martha’s Vineyard.
Morgan, you will recall, is the author of
Language, Discourse and Power in African American Culture, as well as the forthcoming
The Real Hiphop - Battling for Knowledge, Power, and Respect in the Underground.
