Can we please get some more information on Baker? 90 percent of this article focuses on his response to one (relatively minor) event in 2006. He was a noted literary scholar for thirty years before that happened, and he's an important thinker in African American Studies.

I can't add to it myself because I don't know enough about his work, but surely someone can. Michial 22:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No more info on him as needed, as the guy has no notability except for his very vocal involvement in the Duke lacrosse case. Edrigu 14:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
