Although the program was discontinued in 1980 when outside funding expired, it is being revived by DuBois Professor of the Humanities Henry Louis Gates Jr., Burkett said.
The Divinity School and DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research yesterday concluded a three-day conference on African-American religious history.
All the scholars at the conference were either former students of Williams or had been part of a dissertation fellows program that Williams pioneered, according to Randall K. Burkett, fellows officer at the DuBois Institute. "I felt there was a real esprit among the conferences," Burkett said.
Williams served as the first director of the DuBois Institute, from 1975 to 1977, and initiated a dissertation fellows program for doctoral candidates.
The image of W.E.B. DuBois, Class of 1890, was coming to Harvard this summer, and there was no place to put him until the bust's permanent location, the new Memorial Hall student center, opens next fall.
