Personal life

A Haitian-American, Joel Dreyfuss was born in September 1945 in Port-au-Prince, Republic of Haiti.[1] He grew up in Monrovia, New York City, and Paris.[2] In 1971, Dreyfuss graduated from City College of New York, and five years later moved to San Francisco.[3]

By February 2012, he and his wife, Veronica Pollard, had moved to Paris to research Dreyfuss' family history and write a book chronicling their emigration from Africa to France to Haiti. His first draft was finished by late 2016.[1]

Career

Dreyfuss co-founded the National Association of Black Journalists,[2] and he was a nominating judge for the 1981 Pulitzer Prize.[4] In 1989, Dreyfuss co-authored The Bakke Case: The Politics of Inequality (Regents of the University of California v. Bakke) with Charles Lawrence III.[3] By December 2009, Dreyfuss' career was over 30 years old.[5]

He has worked for the Associated Press, Bloomberg News, Fortune, KPIX-TV, KQED-FM, the New York Post, USA Today, The Washington Post,[5] and WNET.[3] He has been a magazine editor for Black Enterprise, InformationWeek, PC Magazine, The Root,[1] and Red Herring.[2]

In September 2011, Dreyfuss decided to retire.[1] In mid-2016, he became a contributing columnist for The Washington Post's Global Opinions initiative.[2] As of March 2023, Dreyfuss was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, having been so since at least February 2019.[6]
