Journalist and educator George Bernard Davis was born on November 29, 1939, in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. In 1961, Davis graduated from Colgate University with his B.A. degree in anthropology and joined the U.S. Air Force, where he flew forty-seven combat missions during the Vietnam War. After briefly working as a reporter and editor for The Washington Post and The New York Times, he received his M.F.A. degree in creative writing from Columbia University. He was later hired as an assistant professor at the Newark campus of Rutgers University, and went on to be named professor emeritus. He founded the Spiritual Intelligence Action Research Project at Rutgers University; and in 2013, he established the interactive project, The Bay is Dying - an Ecology Game. Davis has authored a number of books, including the novel Coming Home and the national bestseller, Black Life in Corporate America: Swimming in the Mainstream. |
