Abstract
Presents an obituary for Dr. William E. Cross, Jr. Dr. Cross's educational and psychological careers are summarized and professional recognitions and awards are noted. It is noted that his nigrescence theory revolutionized research on Black racial identity and transformed understanding of race, ethnicity, and culture. Cross's theories provided a foundation for several widely used measures of racial identity, y, including the Racial Identity Attitude Scale (1981), the Cross Racial Identity Scale (2001), and the Cross Ethnic-Racial Identity Scale (2019), which was an adaptation of the Cross Racial Identity Scale for use with people from multiple ethnic and racial groups. His psychological research was rooted in the sociohistorical realities of the Black experience, helped challenge dominant, "damage-centered" narratives in psychology. Instead, he emphasized the strength, complexity, and resilience of Black communities, changing the way we approach racial identity and consciousness.
