We, the Black Portraiture[s]: TULSA STORIES Organizing Committee, reserve this page in loving memory of our dear friend and colleague, Professor Michael D. Dinwiddie. We extend our condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Michael was an accomplished playwright, composer, teacher, artist, and scholar. He was a champion of the arts, penning a multitude of celebrated plays and investing in dramatic arts institutions throughout the country. He was also a beloved professor, teaching dramatic writing at NYU Gallatin for nearly 30 years. The core of Michael\u2019s success was his deep curiosity\u2013\u2013the hallmark of a dedicated scholar. Here is Michael in his own words, during a 2020 interview with Don Ambrose: \u201cI love to get involved in projects that expand my different skill sets. [. . .] How far can I go in exploring and excavating an issue, an idea, a dilemma that engages and arouses my curiosity?\u201d This same curiosity led him to work on the Black Portraiture[s]: TULSA STORIES conference as a committee member and panelist. Michael, born in Muskogee, OK (and briefly raised in Tulsa as a young child), was thrilled to return to his home state. The opportunity to plan and participate in a conference exploring Tulsa\u2019s rich, complex history was an exciting new challenge he welcomed with open arms. We hope to honor Michael\u2019s excitement and legacy this fall through the success of Black Portraiture[s]: TULSA STORIES, a project that would not be possible without his valued contributions. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
