Robert Weems’ current research project, with colleague Lewis Randolph, looks at the history of U.S. government interest in black business development with a special focus on Richard Nixon’s “Black Capitalism” initiative.
What began as a one-book project, with Lewis Randolph, has turned into a two-volume work. The first looks at the 1920s Division of Negro Affairs up to the Nixon administration, while the second poses the question, “Whatever happened to black capitalism?” and looks at the Ford administration.
Weems recounts his dissertation research and offers advice to graduate students about selecting a viable research topic.
