Dr. Jelani M. Favors is an associate professor of history at Clayton State University. He has received major fellowships in support of his research that includes an appointment as a Humanities Writ Large Fellow at Duke University in 2013 and he was the inaugural recipient of the HBCU Fellowship at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke in 2009. In 2014, he was invited to co-teach a course entitled, “Citizenship and Freedom: The Civil Rights Era,” alongside Pulitzer Prize winning historian Taylor Branch at the University of Baltimore. His published work on student activism has appeared in the North Carolina Historical Review, The Review of Black Political Economy, Ted Ownby’s, The Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi (University Press of Mississippi, 2013), and Robert Cohen and David Snyder’s, Rebellion in Black and White: Southern Student Activism in the 1960s (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013).
In 2018, his essay entitled “Race Women: New Negro Politics and the Flowering of Radicalism at Bennett College, 1900-1945,” won the R.D.W. Connor Award as the best article published in the North Carolina Historical Review for that year. In 2019, Dr. Favors released his first book entitled, Shelter in a Time of Storm: How Black Colleges Fostered Generations of Leadership and Activism which was published by the University of North Carolina Press. The book has received high praise from reviewers and has reset the narrative on the legacy of Black colleges as incubators of student activism. In May of 2020, Shelter in a Time of Storm was the recipient of the Lillian Smith Book Award, given yearly by the Southern Regional Council and the University of Georgia Libraries to the book that possesses “literary merit, moral vision, and honest representation of the South, its peoples, problems and promises."
In February of 2020, Shelter in a Time of Storm was among five books selected as a finalist for the Pauli Murray Book Prize by the African American Intellectual History Society, which is awarded annually to the top book in Black intellectual history. Dr. Favors’s work and research has appeared in several media outlets, including C-SPAN, The Atlantic, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and The Conversation. He earned his Ph.D. in History from The Ohio State University where he also earned a M.A. in African American Studies. He is a graduate of North Carolina A&T Sate University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history with honors. Dr. Favors is a native of Winston-Salem, NC and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
