Abstract
In two previous articles I reflected on
how and why I became a sociologist. The first article discussed my role as a
public, or engaged sociologist in the article, “The Scholar-Activist.” The
second article discussed the evolution of my sociological education in the
article, “Becoming a Sociologist.” As I recall the memories of my early years
in sociology, what stands out as a major theme is the degree to which unplanned
ideas and projects suggested by other researchers have helped to shape my
sociological projects and research agenda. On the other hand, my research and
sociological agenda, while in graduate school, had been to make my mark as a Du
Bois scholar and to focus on urban and community culture and politics. The
latter had been a research and sociological objective ever since I initially
sought to conduct my Masters Thesis on the transformation of social and
cultural politics of Black Charlestonians in their adaptation to life in Harlem.
