A Dealer of Old Clothes: Philosophical Conversations With David Walker showcases the philosophical endeavors of David Walker, an abolitionist and intellectual who was situated in the midst of America's turbulent period of unrest just prior to the Civil War. In this text, Scriven treats Walker as a philosophical sage of sorts. He poses philosophical questions regarding race, resistance, and the problems of evil and solicits answers via Walker's text. The book contains five main chapters with three appendices containing the three respective self-edited versions of Walker's appeal, material that has never appeared together in one volume. This piece contributes to the growing body of African-American philosophy housed with the American philosophical tradition and is the first book-length philosophical treatment in Walker scholarship.

While HBCUs are individually unique, they have similar missions, audiences, threats, and aspirations. This commonality suggests that they should unify in a way that preserves the identity of each, leverages shared resources, and strengthens their standing as an institution class. With attention given to the changing political landscape, Black College Blueprint offers a fresh approach to increasing the HBCU value proposition for the next century. Special attention is given to the opportunity for HBCUs to leverage Artificial Intelligence enterprise wide. Written for wide stakeholder engagement, Black College Blueprint proposes that the best way to accomplish collective HBCU advancement is to create an HBCU Consortium and an HBCU Think Tank to help structure and lead a new expression of Black College education nationally and globally.
