Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Michael Honey received his Ph.D. in history from Northern Illinois University in 1988 and an MA in history from Howard University in 1978. He taught at University of Maryland, Wesleyan University, and University of Puget Sound, taking a post-doc at the Stanford Humanities Center in 1989. In 1990 he became a founding faculty of the University of Washington, Tacoma, helping to devise the curriculum for the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program (now a School of UWT). He initiated and taught the first black history and labor history courses; and with Kathie Friedman Kasaba, a sociologist, he designed the Ethnic, Gender and Labor Studies curriculum (now a major in IAS). Honey initiated the Ernie Tanner Labor and Ethnic Studies Center and worked closely with ILWU Local 23 and with African American churches in developing public programs in the community on labor and black freedom movement studies. He worked closely with the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and continued his links to organizing and research in the South, where he had been the southern director of a civil liberties organization before going to graduate school. He held the Harry Bridges Endowed Chair of Labor Studies, 2000-2004; later became a vice-president and president of the Labor and Working-Class History Association; and has continued to work with the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association since he came to Tacoma. Honey received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and other grants for his labor and civil rights and Martin Luther King studies, and book awards from the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation, the Organization of American Historians, the Southern Historical Association, the State of Washington and the United Association of Labor Educators for his four monographs in labor and civil rights history and his edited volume of King’s labor speeches. His files include numerous oral histories, research in southern labor and African American history and music, teaching materials, and documents of his professional growth as a historian with wide national recognition and as a faculty member at the University of Washington, and as the Fred and Dorothy Haley endowed Professor of Humanities at the UW Tacoma.
