| Abstract | Psychologist and public speaker Na'im Akbar was born on April 26, 1944, in Tallahassee, Florida. Akbar attended the University of Michigan, completing his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in psychology. Upon receiving his Ph.D., Akbar accepted a position in the psychology department at Morehouse College in Atlanta. There, he instituted Morehouse's first black psychology course, eventually developing the first black psychology program at a historically black college or university. Akbar left Morehouse after five years to work at the Nation of Islam's headquarters in Chicago, founding its Office of Human Development. After two years, Akbar joined the faculty of Norfolk State University, again instituting courses in black psychology. In 1979, Akbar accepted a faculty position at Florida State University and retired in 2008 to focus on his publishing and consulting companies, which were founded in the late 1980s. Akbar is highly sought after as a lecturer, orator and keynote speaker. |
