Sharron Wilkins Conrad

Conrad's research focuses on civil rights and the American presidency. Overarching themes in Conrad’s writings include the ways that African Americans remember the civil rights leadership of Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, how these perceptions often conflict with scholarly interpretations, and what is gained by rethinking our understanding of “public” history. Conrad is a public historian who supports history and memory projects that document the African-American past in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
