Hanes Walton, Jr. (1941-2013), Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan, was an architect of the modern study of African American politics.

His last book was The African American Electorate: A Statistical Portrait. Robert C. Smith, Professor of Political Science Emeritus, San Francisco State University, is the author of multiple books and articles and of the Encyclopedia of African American Politics. His most recent books are Conservatism and Racism, and Why in America They are the Same, and John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and the Politics of Ethnic Incorporation and Avoidance. Sherri L. Wallace, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Louisville, has received numerous awards for excellence in teaching and instructional design and serves in a variety of teaching and learning capacities with APSA task forces, curriculum assessments, and textbook evaluations.
