She is completing her second monograph tentatively titled Equal Opportunity is Not Enough: The Urban League’s New Thrust in Cleveland, Ohio, 1968-1975. In 2016, she was awarded the Ford Foundation Senior Fellowship for this project which explores a key moment when one mainstream African American organization—the Urban League—contested normative definitions of equality and opportunity in an era of racialized inequality. She is the author of Property Rites: The Rhinelander Trial, Passing, and the Protection of Whiteness (2009). As a teacher of undergraduates and graduate students, Smith-Pryor thinks archives and archivists are wonderful! Working with Kent State’s University Archivist, she has twice taught a course on Civil Rights and Black Power where students created a digital history project based on the University Archives’ holdings.
