About   (request update)
Quintard Taylor, originally from Brownsville, Tennessee, received his B.A. from St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota where he studied with Allen Issacman, Lansine Kaba, Allen Spear and Stuart Schwartz.

Taylor has more than thirty years of teaching experience in African American history and specifically African Americans in the American West. His previous positions have included Washington State University, California Polytechnic State University, the University of Oregon (where he was chair of the Department of History from 1997 to 1999) and the University of Lagos (Fulbright-Hays Fellowship). He has also authored two books, In Search of The Racial Frontier: African Americans in the American West, 1528-1990 and The Forging of A Black Community: Seattle’s Central District from 1870 through the Civil Rights Era. He has edited two anthologies, Seeking El Dorado: African Americans in California and African American Women Confront the West, 1600-2000. Taylor has also written over fifty articles on western African American history, 20th Century African American history, African and Afro-Brazilian history. His current projects include Urban Archipelago: a 20th Century History of the African American Urban West for the University of Arizona Press and From Timbuktu to Katrina, a two volume reader in 19th and 20th Century African American history for Wadsworth-Thomson Publishers. He is co-author of the forthcoming Dr. Sam: The Autobiography of Dr. Samuel Kelly, Soldier, Educator and Advocate.

Taylor currently serves on the Board of the Northwest African American Museum (Seattle) and the Idaho Black History Museum (Boise). He has been a member of the Council of the American Historical Association, and has served on the Board of Trustees of the Washington State Historical Society, the Washington Territorial Commission and History Link Interactive History Project. Taylor was a founding board member of the Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas. See his Curriculum Vitae for details.

Professor Taylor’s reputation has attracted many energetic and talented graduate students who continue to contribute to African American and black western history. Among the institutions his graduate students are now teaching at Seattle University, Humboldt State University, Pacific Lutheran University, Las Positas College, Grays Harbor College and Seattle Pacific University.

Professor Taylor is dedicated to researching and teaching African American history. He demands active student participation (even in large lecture courses) and organizes his course along significant themes in modern United States history. The enrollment in his courses testifies to his approach.
