Du Bois Institute[3] and an associate at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University.[4] Yacovone has written for the Chronicle of Higher Education on the topic of racism through history in textbooks and in academia.[5] In 2013, Yacovone co-authored The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross[6] with Henry Louis Gates Jr, a book that was later made into a television series hosted by Gates Jr.[7] The book has been criticized by some for not dating back to pre-slavery times.[8][9][10]
