Richard Long taught at Atlanta University (where he founded the African American Studies program) and later at Emory University and was considered a public intellectual who was described as one of the “great pillars of African American arts and culture.” Long’s many books include Black Americana, The Black Tradition in American Dance, and Grown Deep: Essays on the Harlem Renaissance. He was close friends with James Baldwin, who met him in France on a Fulbright in 1957. Baldwin often visited Long in Atlanta. See https://www.artsatl.org/memorium-richard-a-long/
