Speech from the Spring 2014 commencement proceedings at Binghamton University May 15 - 18.
2014 Honorary Doctorate Recipient from Binghamton University.
For historian, professor and writer Deborah Gray White '71, being a part of the first class of Binghamton's Special Admission program "made all the difference in the world."
White, who received her master's degree from Columbia University and her doctorate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, would go on to a career in which she would highlight African-American and American women's history. Her 1985 book, "Ar'n't I A Woman? Female Slaves in the Plantation South," was designated by the Organization of American Historians as one of the 100 most admired history books.
Now the Board of Governors Professor of History at Rutgers University, White's latest project is called "''Can't We Get Along': The Cultural Awakenings of the 1990's." The book will examine the history of the 1990s by looking at mass marches and outdoor gatherings. White is finishing the last chapter of the book, which she expects to be released in 2015.
