Ibram X. Kendi

The Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University launched with nearly $55 million in funding raised on the heels of George Floyd’s murder. Ibram X. Kendi, whom BU lured away from American University, founded the Center in 2020 and has been its director. 

Historian, academic and writer Ibram X. Kendi, in collaboration with Joel Christian Gill, chair of MFA program in Visual Narrative at Boston University, this month released a graphic version of Kendi’s 2016 book, “Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America.”
