Herb Ruffin is an Assistant Professor of African American Studies at Syracuse University. He holds a Ph.D. in American history from Claremont Graduate University. His research examined the African American experience in California’s Santa Clara Valley, and in particular, the process of Black suburbanization in the American West from 1950-1990. Ruffin has published several articles, book reviews, and many online academic publications which focus on the Black West, African Diaspora, and Ethnic Studies. As a public historian, Ruffin worked as an intern, fellow, and contractor for the Smithsonian Institution in the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, and Program in African American Culture (PAAC) at the National Museum of American History from 1997-2002. Notable projects presented for public consumption include co-coordinating an African Immigrant program at the Festival of American Folklife, assisting the development of a Black Seminoles and African Maroons in the Americas website and traveling exhibit, and co-producing the symposium, A Quest For Freedom: The Black Experience in the American West (2001). | |||||
