Dr. Orlando Taylor: A Person to Emulate

2024-03-05T09:43:29-08:00

Orlando L. Taylor, Ph.D. By: Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D. The first time I stepped into the offices of Diverse Issues In Higher Education, I was with Dr. Orlando Taylor. He took me there to meet his long-time colleague and co-founder of the magazine, Dr. Bill Cox. As I listened to their wide-ranging conversation, about people they knew, or had known, and projects they worked on together, I was taken by the longevity of their connection to each other. They shared a common spirit in their separate spheres: to advance people of color through mentoring and teaching. In our [...]

Black History Month: African Americans and The Legacy of the Voting Rights Act of 1965

2024-02-28T07:28:41-08:00

Black History Month: African Americans and The Legacy of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 By Sheila Turner Over the last couple of years, there have been continued stories and discussions about the United States Voter Rights Act, a law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Some states have sought to change or implement policies to limit and/or make it difficult for African Americans to exercise their right to vote.

2024-02-26T16:02:31-08:00

From race-based and historical traumas to systemic inequalities, various factors contribute to the challenges faced by African American and Black individuals in navigating their mental health journeys. Let us reflect on why Black mental health matters and why it is essential to prioritize it. First, we must understand the historical context. The legacy of slavery, segregation, and ongoing racial discrimination has left scars on the spirit of the Black communities. From the brutality of [...]
