Dr. Brailsford Reese Brazeal was an educator, economist, author, labor and civil rights activist. He dedicated much of his life to education, human relations, labor issues, and racial equality. He received his bachelor's degree from Morehouse College in 1927 and his master's degree in economics at Columbia University in 1928. He also received his Ph.D. from Columbia in economics and political science in 1942. Dr. Brazeal's scholarly interests and research focused extensively on labor equality and worker rights; he is especially noted for his research on the Pullman porters, and he published "The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters" in 1946. He was also involved in several collegiate and community organizations, including the Sigma Pi Phi (Boule), Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Phi Beta Kappa.
