Keith Finley – President’s Award for Excellence in Research
Associate Professor of History Keith Finley began his time at Southeastern in 1996 as a graduate student. As a masters candidate, he dabbled in the areas of history that would shape his research. While a student, he completed a paper that examined Lyndon Johnson’s tenure as Senate Majority Leader. From that paper he began to narrow his focus to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. While researching the subject, he became interested in the arguments southern politicians made against civil rights laws.
