Biographical Note

Dr. Craig Lloyd, a native New Yorker, served as Professor of History and Archivist at Columbus State University until his retirement in 2001. Lloyd, a graduate from Middlebury College in Vermont, initially arrived at CSU, then Columbus College, in August of 1971 after completing his PhD at the University of Iowa. Dick Amundson, chair of the Columbus College Social Science Division initiated the call that made Lloyd the 8th hire in the History Department since 1969. Lloyd's PhD dissertation, Aggressive Introvert: Herbert Hoover and Public Relations Management, was published by Ohio State Press shortly after his hire at Columbus College.

Lloyd began working in the Archives in 1985, the position was to be half time. Teaching history in the mornings, Lloyd spent the remainder of his afternoons in the Archives. Here Lloyd began his 13-year labor in producing the definitive biography of Eugene Bullard entitled: Eugene Bullard, Black Expatriate In Jazz-Age Paris.

Although he was the first African American fighter pilot, Eugene J. Bullard (1895-1961) is still a relative stranger in his homeland. The Columbus, Georgia native was an accomplished professional boxer, musician, club manager, and impresario of Parisian nightlife between world wars. Bullard found in Europe a degree of respect and freedom unknown to blacks in America. There, for twenty-five years, he helped define the expatriate experience for countless other African American artists, writers, performers and athletes. The above text was taken from Craig Lloyd's, Eugene Bullard, Black Expatriate In Jazz-Age Paris.
