After a nearly 10-year career serving in the United States Navy, scholar Dr. Bryon Garner was left with many questions surrounding race, patriotism and belonging.
“I was working for the federal government, but I had these questions about my experience being a Black person in America and in the military, and I was searching for answers I wasn’t sure how to find,” the historian said.
It was seeking those answers that led Garner to begin his academic journey.
