Winston Napier
Norman Napier touched on many topics during a recent visit to Clark University’s English House, some personal and lighthearted, some referencing painful national and world current events. But foremost in the conversation was the reason for Napier’s visit: honoring the memory of his brother, the late Clark Professor of English Winston “Tony” Napier.
Norman Napier and his wife, Octavia, were at Clark to deliver a gift from Napier and his siblings, Debbie Napier Bethune and the late Owen Napier, establishing the Winston Napier Endowed Memorial Fund. The new fund supports the E. Franklin Frazier Chair of African American Literature, Theory and Culture, previously held by Winston Napier.
