We are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of our dear friend Professor Pellom McDaniels, III. He was a kind supporter of AAIHS for many years and offered valuable research help to so many of our members. We extend our deep condolences to his loved ones. 💔
I just found out that our dear family friend, Pellom McDaniels, III passed away this morning. Pellum was a devoted husband, father, scholar, archivist, museum curator, artist, poet, NFL star, and Emory faculty member. Just shocked. #BlkTwitterstorianspellommcdanielsiii.com
