From an on-line posting: " African American Studies was a relatively new and emerging field when Dr. Andrew Billingsley began teaching, said Dr. Bobby Donaldson, an associate professor of history and African-American studies at Carolina. As a scholar of black families, Billingsley reshaped public policy and helped define African American Studies interdisciplinary framework. At a time of protest, he directed his activist energies toward path-breaking research that attracted the attention of politicians, journalists and lay readers."
