About D’Weston Haywood:

D’Weston Haywood is an Associate Professor of History at Hunter College. He is a historian of twentieth century American History with research and teaching interests in Black protest and protest thought, Black masculinity, Black Power, and intersections of Black culture, Black politics, and Black public spheres.

His first book, Let Us Make Men: The Twentieth-Century Black Press and a Manly Vision for Racial Advancement  (UNC 2018), reinterprets the Black press as a tool of Black men’s leadership, public vocalization, gender and identity formation, and space for the construction of ideas of ‘proper’ Black masculinity that shaped the 20th Century Black freedom struggle to wage a fight for racial justice and black manhood.
