Lawrence Otis Graham was a brilliant Ivy League-educated scholar who rose to prominence in the ’90s by analyzing complicated tensions surrounding Black excellence and prosperity.

His poignantly insightful analyses of class, race and the racial divide in African-Americans positioned him as one of the most widely read and discussed authors of the 1990s.
Lawrence Otis Graham died at the age of 59; however, his legacy empowers and educates both versions of America.
