}}Aldon Douglas Morris (born June 15, 1949) is an African-American professor of sociology and an award-winning scholar, with interests including social movements, civil rights, and social inequality.[2][5]

Early life and education

Morris, the grandson of sharecroppers, was born in rural Tutwiler, Mississippi.[1][4] As a child he experienced Jim Crow racism and segregation; one of his earliest memories was the lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till.[1][4] He moved to Chicago with his family, and enrolled at Southeast Community College in 1968.[1][4] Morris studied sociology and social movements at Bradley University and the State University of New York, Stony Brook, receiving his PhD in 1980.[4]

Career

Morris was an associate professor of sociology at the University of Michigan from 1980 to 1990.[4][6] He joined the faculty of Northwestern University in 1988, where he now serves as the Leon Forrest professor of sociology and African-American Studies.[2][4][5] Previously at Northwestern, he chaired the sociology department, directed Asian American Studies, served as associate dean for faculty affairs, and served as interim dean for the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.[4]

Morris was inspired by the oration of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the scholarship of sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois, the first black man to earn a doctorate from Harvard University.[4] In 2005, Morris and a group of peers persuaded the American Sociological Association to rename their top award after Du Bois.[1][7] In his 2015 book, The Scholar Denied: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology, Morris argued that Du Bois was the founder of modern American sociology, and that his contributions to the field were suppressed for decades due to institutional racism.[5]
