This guy has to keep the whole ‘anti-racism’ grift going somehow.
The College Fix reports:
Ibram Kendi’s new center reportedly launching this month at Howard U.Ibram Kendi’s new center is reportedly launching this month at Howard University, according to his spokesman.The “antiracist” advocate officially began his new job at the historically black university in Washington D.C. in August.Since then, details about his new center have remained sparse – the Institute for Advanced Study does not currently have its own website beyond a fundraising link.It is not yet listed among Howard’s other think tanks on a “Research Centers & Institutes” page for graduate students or its main “Centers & Institutes” page.Kendi is also bringing over The Emancipator, a publication focused on racial issues, from Boston University.Howard University media relations director Carol Wilkerson referred questions about the institute to a spokesman for Kendi.“We look forward to launching The Emancipator and the Institute’s website at the beginning of next year,” the spokesman told The Fix at the end of 2025.The Emancipator is set to launch in the new year – it announced the hiring of a new managing editor in mid-December. Originally, the publication was set to launch in November of last year.The spokesman did not answer whether there had been progress on internship or fellowship opportunities Kendi had previously announced, or whether the professor had been meeting with students and faculty to discuss plans for the institute.The institute will be “dedicated to interdisciplinary study advancing research of importance to the global African Diaspora” with inquiry into topics including “racism, climate change, and disparities,” according to the original announcement from Howard University.Kendi left Boston University, where he had been a professor since 2020, amid controversy over his leadership of its Center for Antiracist Research.In August, Kendi told The Fix: “I am looking forward to working with colleagues over the next year to strategically plan, acquire resources, hire staff, and unveil programs, including The Emancipator and our fellowship program.” At the time, he anticipated that starting the institute would take “six months to a year.”
