传记与作者历程
Born in 1982 to parents shaped by activist Christianity, Black liberation theology, and the afterlife of the Black Power era, Ibram X. Kendi spent his childhood in Jamaica, Queens, before his family moved in his high-school years to Manassas, Virginia. He entered Florida A&M University planning on a career in sports journalism, freelanced for Florida newspapers, and interned with USA Today Sports Weekly as well as newspaper sports desks in Mobile and Atlanta. That path shifted as he became more committed to racial-justice scholarship; he added African American studies to journalism, graduated in 2004, and completed a doctorate in African American studies at Temple University in 2010.
