Painting ‘the Soul of Black Folk’

Nelson Stevens, UMass professor, activist, and prominent artist, died July 22, 2022. His paintings of the Black experience speak to the liberatory power of art and expression.

Stevens was born in Brooklyn in 1938. His lifelong devotion to art started as a child with art classes at MoMA—then on to Kent State University, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1969. It was there, while working on paintings that lifted the Black community and centered the fight for civil rights, that he joined the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists (AfriCOBRA)—an artist collective aligned with the Black Arts Movement. Stevens quickly became a prominent member.

Stevens used AfriCOBRA’s vibrant signature “Kool-Aid colors” in his work. He described his powerful, mosaic-like portraits of African American faces as “the physiognomy of the soul of Black folk” in a 2019 interview with The Guardian. Earlier this year, Color Rapping, a 50-year retrospective, toured the University of Maryland Global Campus and the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Stevens came to UMass in 1972, where he taught for the next 30 years in the art and Afro-American studies department. He taught through community building, helping revitalize the influential student-run Black literary magazine Drum and organizing a mural project in Springfield, where he and his students painted dozens of murals. For Stevens, art was not some rarefied act—it was for the people, and it belonged on the streets.

From Springfield to Kenya—and back

Ruth Stutts Njiiri ’75EdD died in November 2022 at the age of 93. Njiiri was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and attended Springfield Public Schools, where she later taught until her retirement in 2003.

After completing high school, Njiiri moved to New York City, where she met and later married Kariuki Njiiri, who was from Kenya. They moved with their family to Kenya in 1958 and became involved in the independence movement led by anti-colonial activist and politician Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Njiiri served as Kenyatta’s personal secretary throughout his tenure as the country’s first prime minister and then president. While there, she also helped found the Kenya Children’s Library and assisted in organizing the Kenya Student Airlift, a project enabling African youth to attend colleges and universities in the United States.

Njiiri returned to the U.S. in 1968 to complete her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Springfield College and then earned a doctorate in international education from UMass Amherst.

In addition to her teaching career, Njiiri was a longtime board member of the Springfield Museums Association, where she initiated the Ubora Award, which recognizes African Americans from the Greater Springfield area who have shown exceptional devotion in their voluntary activities.

The force behind the byline

Viola Osgood, a pioneering reporter for The Boston Globe, died April 23, 2023.

Osgood was born in Georgia and was one of 11 children in the family. Her brilliance was evident throughout her childhood: In a 1984 essay, she recalled that her first-grade teacher told her, “You’d be a terrible maid. You have to go to college so you can get a job you can do.” She evidently took this to heart and became the first in her family to graduate from college after moving north to attend UMass Amherst in 1967.

Osgood began her career at the Globe as an intern and quickly became a force in the newsroom, following the truth to underreported corners of Boston. She’s remembered for strongly advocating for news coverage of six murdered Black women and girls in 1979, after their deaths were ignored by local media. In addition to hard-hitting reporting, her journalistic track record shows that she was unafraid to assert a strong opinion—her essays ranged from arguments against vulgar music to defenses of abortion rights.

“She was a sage,” said Gregory Moore, a former Globe managing editor, in the paper’s obituary for Osgood. “She was tough, a fighter and resourceful.”

“Viola’s favorite saying was ‘God bless the woman who has her own,’” her niece Regina McKeon adds. “It’s something she lived by. She was a strong woman.”

A Pioneer of PrEP

Dawn Kristen Smith, MD, MS, MPH, a passionate and pioneering HIV researcher and public health professional since the 1980s, died at her home in October 2022, just before her 73rd birthday.

An important highlight of Smith’s prolific career was her work on pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which has become an essential HIV prevention tool since the FDA approved it in 2012. In 1993, serving as the associate director for HIV research for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Botswana, she helped develop clinical trial infrastructure and initiated PrEP trials.

Throughout her career, Smith worked to bring attention to the disproportionate impact of HIV on traditionally underrepresented communities in U.S. research studies.

“She loved humanity,” says her daughter, filmmaker CB Smith-Dahl. “In particular, she loved the disenfranchised—communities of color, IV drug users, sex workers, poor folks—and she wanted them to have the best medical care and to live full lives.”

After her UMass Amherst studies, Smith “started medical school while receiving public assistance when my brother and I were little,” Smith-Dahl says. “She grew up as a poor Black girl in rural Michigan, and was assigned to a manual arts high school on the South Side of Chicago. She never forgot those experiences, and she brought them as assets into every environment she worked in,” she adds.

In collaboration with her family in Oakland, CA, the East Bay AIDS Memorial Garden project (a collaboration between East Bay Getting to Zero and The Gardens at Lake Merritt), is planning a special dedication within the gardens to the life of Dr. Dawn K. Smith, in honor of her enduring legacy.

A life of science and art

Richard O’Brien, who served as chancellor of UMass Amherst from 1991 to 1993, died in May at the age of 93.

Born in Sydenham, England, in 1929, O’Brien lived through World War II in London with his mother and siblings while his father worked abroad. O’Brien emigrated to Canada in 1950 to complete his PhD in chemistry. He taught at Cornell University from 1960–1978, where he created and chaired the Department of Biochemistry and helped form the Section of Neurobiology and Behavior. Over the course of his scientific career, he authored over 160 journal articles and six books, and received a Guggenheim Fellowship and numerous other awards.

O’Brien was appointed provost at the University of Rochester in 1978 and came to UMass Amherst as provost and executive vice chancellor in 1984. He served in this role for seven years before becoming chancellor in 1991. Among his achievements were hiring John Calipari as head coach of the men’s basketball team, building the marching band program, and establishing awards in multiculturalism.

After his time as chancellor, O’Brien returned to his love of teaching as chair of the biochemistry department, and he was awarded the College Outstanding Teaching Award in 2000. His passion for the sciences was matched by his love for the arts, particularly classical music, opera, Shakespeare, and his collection of Japanese wood block prints. He retired in 2000 but remained active as a docent and lecturer at the Springfield Art Museum and Chair of the Amherst Public Art Commission. In addition to his scholarly accomplishments, O’Brien is remembered for his kindness and curiosity, which inspired so many over the course of his long lifetime.

Understanding the past, building the future

Robert Holub, who served as chancellor of UMass Amherst from 2008 to 2012, passed away in August at the age of 74.

Before coming to UMass, Holub had a long and distinguished career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked for 27 years. He taught in and then chaired the German department, going on to become dean of the undergraduate division in the College of Letters and Science. He later served as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

During his time at UMass, Holub raised the profile of the university despite the economic challenges of the 2008 Great Recession. His contributions include commencing the construction of the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community and the first phase of the Life Sciences Laboratories.

After his tenure at UMass, Holub chaired the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University from 2014 to 2023. Throughout his career, he produced scholarly work focused on the intellectual, cultural, and literary history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with particular interest in Heinrich Heine, German realism, Friedrich Nietzsche, literary and aesthetic theory, Jürgen Habermas, and Vergangenheitsbewältigung (Germany’s struggle to come to terms with its past).
