SIDELIGHTS: Judson L. Jeffries told CA: "As Steve Biko once said, 'I write what I like.' Carter G. Woodson, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and others have influenced my work. When writing a book or scholarly article, I write a little bit each day. I relentlessly pursue the writing until it is completed. My research subjects appear in my dreams. Everything I have written has appeared in my dreams."
