Definition

  • Beginning in the mid 1990s and continuing until 2001, the Harvard Dream Team was a gathering of very well-established scholars at Harvard University's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research and Department of Afro American Studies. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a major literary figure, spearheaded the idea of bringing together a “dream team” of scholars, which included Cornel West, William Julius Wilson, Evelyn Higginbotham, and Kwame Anthony Appiah.
