POTSDAM — Now mid-way through February, 14 Black writers have been featured in a SUNY Potsdam professor’s daily audio snapshots in celebration of Black History Month. Derek C. Maus, professor of English and communications, launched “A Deeper Dive into African American Literature” at the beginning of the month, profiling Black poets, novelists, journalists and playwrights and their work. The 5-minute episodes are produced in concert with the university’s Center for Diversity and its campus-wide Black History programming. As an Arkansas public school student in the 1980s, Mr. Maus recalled, the same collection of some 25 Black historical figures were covered in every year’s curriculum.
