STERLING STUCKEY

Whenever Sterling crosses my mind I miss him immensely. He was a brilliant writer and conversationalist. We used to have breakfast together on my breaks at the restaurant, or have lunch at the UCR Barn during my undergrad. I'll never forgot when he came to tell me he had listened to the Lady Gaga and Tony Bennet album, LOVED IT, and thanked me for introducing him to her music. He was always such a sweetheart. I miss you so much Sterling, and I wish we could have lunch together again.

I am so sorry that Dr. Stuckey is gone. His class was the reason I switched my major at Northwestern University from Sociology to History. True, I was the only White student in his classes, but I needed to understand why racism against Blacks in the U.S. was so pervasive. That was my mission, which continues to this day.

Since graduating in 1975, I've had an opportunity to write Dr.Stuckey to thank him for his classes. And I saw him at Laney College in Oakland for a seminar, ...

The Professor remembered as a challenge at Northwestern. I took his class because I needed to experience nothing but challenging work on character. He delivered. Much Love. Shalom

I was a student in Professor Stuckey's African American History class during my undergrad years at Northwestern University, 1971-73. His presentation style, the depth of knowledge which prominently put him in the league of the best thinkers & academicians and his kind & student-centered approach left an indelible impression on me. He will be in my memories of the great thinkers forever.

I was a student in Professor Stuckey's "African-American History" class at Northwestern University in the mid-1970's. His knowledge about, and enthusiasm for, the subject matter were unparalleled. While much time has passed, and additional education beyond a BA in Political Science ensued, he was, and remains, my favorite professor. He was an inspiration to all. My condolences to you on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

He was one of my professor when I was pursuing the Ph.D. at Northwestern University. His impact on my life is immeasurable. I am who I am as a scholar because of him. What a kind and gentle soul!

My heart goes out to Sterlings family Sterling was beautiful soul he shopped at our store Ralphs 609 in Riverside. He touched every ones heart he came across with and very much talent in writing his beautiful memoras and his beautiful hugs He will be missed dearly by many♀

I had Mr. Stuckey for social studies as a student at Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago and he had a profound impact on my life. Professor Stuckey is the reason that people who visit my house find at least one overflowing bookcase in each room; including the kitchen and bathroom. He gave me a thirst for knowledge and a respect for books that has lasted throughout my life.

For some reason today, Mr. Stuckey was on my mind and in surfing the net I found this page. In thinking...

Prof Sterling stuckey was my supervisor, mentor and father. I was touched by his kindness, compassion and generosity even beyond my graduation as his first south African student he promoted (doctors studies). I will sorely missed him.
