Stefan M. Bradley is one of the 2019 finalists for the Pauli Murray Book Prize in Black Intellectual History. His book, “Upending the Ivory Tower: Civil Rights, Black Power and the Ivy League” (NYU Press 2018), illuminates how the Black Power Movement, which was borne out of an effort to edify the most disfranchised of the black masses, also took root in the hallowed halls of America’s most esteemed institutions of higher education.
