Du Bois, Jacques Derrida, and Cecil Taylor, whom he hosted as an artist in residence while director of the Program in Comparative American Cultures at Johns Hopkins University. "Anacrusis," the opening of his book X: The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Thought (2014), is dedicated to Cecil Taylor.
