David Kilroy, Ph.D.and Jermain Corbyn, Chair of the Combined Omega Psi Phi Chapters in Boston
David Kilroy, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of History and Political Science in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), was a guest speaker for the combined Boston chapters of Omega Psi Phi, the nation’s oldest Black fraternity. Kilroy gave a presentation titled, “On the Trail of a Legend: The Amazing Life of Charles Young.” Among his accomplishments, Young was the third African American to graduate from West Point and the first to achieve the rank of colonel. He was inducted into the fraternity in 1912. Kilroy’s talk was based on his book, For Race and Country: The Life and Career of Colonel Charles Young,” (Praeger 2003).

Kilroy’s teaching and research interests include U.S. foreign relations and the correlation between U.S. foreign policy and issues of domestic American cultural and political identity. His second book, Days of Decision: Turning Points in U.S. Foreign Policy, co-authored with Michael Nojeim, Ph.D., in 2011, offers 12 case studies of major pendulum shifts in U.S. foreign policy, from the Spanish-American War in 1898 to the U.S. response to 9/11.
