I am deeply saddened by this news.  Dr. Hilliard has always been a  source of 
inspiration for me in my own work.  It is because of his example  that I have 
always worked to teach multiculturalism from a historical  perspective, that 
students might see the antecedents of what occurs in schools,  in classrooms, 
in communities, and in our society as not of their making, but as  their 
opportunity to respond to and change.  It is almost not  surprising to hear that he 
would pass from this world in that place to  which he so often returned, that 
place where he knew it all began.
 
Dr. Asa Hilliard's voice, thoughts, ideas, and presence will be  missed.  His 
inspiration will continue to guide...
 
May he rest in peace.
