Edward W. Crosby
Edward Warren Crosby (born November 4, 1932), is an African-American professor/administrator emeritus, in the Department of Pan-African Studies at Kent State University (KSU). As a pioneer in the field of Black Education his most notable accomplishments include the creation of the Institute for African American Affairs, the predecessor of the Department of Pan-African Studies and The Center of Pan-African Culture at KSU. The Pan-African Studies Department (1969) and the Center of Pan-African Culture (1970) were two of the first institutions of their kind to be established at institutions of higher education.
==Background and education==
Born and raised in the heart of Cleveland's Hough neighborhood, site of the Hough Riots of 1966, he was the fourth child born to Frederick Douglass and Marion (Naylor) Crosby. He attended Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament and St. Edward's, Catholic parochial elementary and middle schools. As a young altar boy Edward aspired to be a priest, at that time. He was a straight "A" student, as well. However, he veered from the straight and narrow path he started out on when he transferred out of St. Edward's in the eighth grade, unbeknownst to his parents.
This change brought an abrupt end to his priestly aspirations, in 1948. His entry into Cleveland's public schools paralleled his involvement in a number of delinquent activities. He became an inveterate truant and his academics suffered tremendously. He continued to show glimmers of hope, that he might in time become a serious student and actually make something of himself. This was later borne out when he became a university professor and school administrator. His parents, especially his mother, never lost patience, nor did they allow themselves to forget the promise their son had showed early on.
He earned his BA and MA from Kent State in 1957 and 1959 in German and Spanish and went on to earn a PhD from the University of Kansas in 1965. Oddly enough, his area of specialization was Medieval German Languages and Literature and Medieval History. In 1957 he began teaching at Kent State University and has since taught at a number of major and minor institutions around the country, including Hiram College, Tuskegee Institute, Southern Illinois University and the University of Washington.〔
