			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long was my Thesis Advisor @ CAU. He was a no non-sense professor, but also a gentle and kind spirit. He will be forever remembered!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I met Dr. Long through a mutual friend back in the 70's. I was lucky enough to be invited to his home for lunch. James Baldwin was staying with him at the time. He was in town to get an Honory Degree from Morehouse College. Now, I am not parf of Academia, in fact I only have a few years of college. But I was treated by both gentlemen with poise and respect. It will ALWAYS be one of the important and best days of my life. One of the true greats of your time will be missed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I met Dr. Long when I was a graduate student at Atlanta University in the 70's. I used to take him to the airport to catch his plane to God Knows Where This Time! I loved chauffering him around. He was so thoroughly entertaining, just a joy to be around. I had not seen him in many years. Still, I feel a great loss. RIP, RAL]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am saddened by the passing of this wonderful scholar and friend. He would often come to Puerto Rico and delight me with his wit and vast knowledge of all things human. He was supremely civilized and cultured. When I taught journalism at the University of Puerto Rico he gracefully accepted my invitation to give a lecture on African art. He was a tireless traveler and I always looked forward to his reports by phone. I was privileged and honored to know him and shall miss him terribly. My deepest condolences to his brother Curtis.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[i remember vividly being invited to a lunch with the mayor of Atlanta and the mayor of Toulouse (they are twin cities), and their delegations. Richard long was sitting across the table from me. On my left a top executive of Airbus blurted some racist homophobic crap with a rugby accent. I felt so terminally embarassed. But Richard made sure during the whole meal that he did not show that he understood or spoke French (I think he did his PhD in France). After the meal he took me aside and told me that i should not feel ashamed for the behavior of my compatriot. Richard Long had enormous grace. In one hour he totally shifted my perspective. I will never forget that ultimate poise. Rest In Peace Richard !!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long was Director of African American Studies and the Doctor of Arts in Humanities Program at Atlanta University when I got my doctorate there...and the head of my dissertation. Such a mentor and brilliant scholar. He loved to come to visit New Orleans. He called me often to see what was happening culturally here and plan his speaking here, and also tell me of his recent many travels around the world. He will be missed by so many in this city. He will live through all of us who he taught and inspired.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[He was my dissertation adviser at Emory at the ILA. He was simultaneously an inspiring teacher, a brilliant scholar, and a terrifying face across the seminar table. He did not suffer fools, but he was a heck of a presence in my life. He will not be forgotten. May he rest in peace. May those of us that he taught live up to his formidable legacy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! He exuded and expected excellence. He wrote the Foreword for my first solo book, A Biography of E. Azalia Smith Hackley, 1867-1922: African American Singer and Social Activist (Edwin Mellen Press, 2001) -- in LONGhand, no less, on the yellow, lined pages of a legal pad! (Of course, I typed it to meet publisher's specifications. ) He also served as Chair of my Dissertation Committee in the ILA at Emory. The man is gone, but his deep and resonant voice rings on!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long was a huge influence on me during my years at Emory. His integrity, quiet confidence, and wit gave me the bravura I needed to offer a course on Harlem Renaissance writers and artists at the Atlanta College of Art...the first course ever offered there with a focus on African American studies. His presence was a gift.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Long' s passing. He was a wonderful educator, raconteur, and the major reason I hold ILA deeply in my heart. I will never forget him. We have lost a Titan. May he rest in eternal peace.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long was the voice that gave me the encouragement needed to believe in my abilities as a potential scholar, the belief that the mission was to teach with integrity and respect for students as the future for the emancipation of African Americans. He was my mentor, my adviser and after graduation my confident and my friend. I will miss him, but I will remember his lessons and his faith in me as one of his students.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I met Richard in 1970,when I was working at the Martin Luther King,jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. He was a very gracious man, who had a vast knowledge of African and African American literature and art. Even though he has joined the ancestors, his life and work will live on, for he touched many lives as a teacher and mentor.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dr. Long and I had a wonderful conversation at the opening of the Thornton Dial exhibit at the High Museum. He had recently returned from Paris, was preparing to travel to South America and had promised a tour of his collection. We had been neighbors since he moved to Inman Park in the early 70's. He had an amazing life with broad reaching branches. Richard will be missed by many.]]></description>
