The 15 th-century coffee trading network was based in the Red Sea region with the Yemeni port of Mocha as its focal point. Sufi saints and merchants spread the practice of coffee-drinking to the geographically diverse – but intellectually and linguistically linked – Islamic Turkish Ottoman, Iranian Safavid, and South Asia Mughal empires that reigned from the 16 th to the 18 th centuries. They drank qahwa, the Arabic term for coffee, to stay awake during the night-long meditation and recitation zikr rituals (Ralph Hattox, 1985). Historically, coffee as a hot beverage was introduced to the world by the Sufi saints in 15 th-century Yemen. This was an erasure so immaculate that, as early as the 19th century, coffee drinking in India was identified with British colonizers colonial subjects either embraced or rejected the practice as a sign of Western modernity. While racist assaults on coffee no longer persist, the Islamic past of this dark brown beverage has been completely whitewashed. He can be seen overlooking the Black Moor serving coffee. The illustration depicts two English consumers and a turbaned Turk holding a cup of coffee and smoking tobacco, yet another exotic import.

I know that my experience with David is not unique because over the past few months I have had the pleasure of meeting and hearing from literally hundreds of WHRB alumni (AKA ghosts) who share the same sentiments about David. David’s trust and willingness to provide me the space to be confronted allowed me to grow throughout my time as President. To my surprise, he did not provide me with a solution but instead, David told me that this was exactly the issue the station had elected me to solve and that, despite my uncertainty, he was confident with the station under my leadership. When I became President of WHRB my Junior year, I was immediately faced with the most challenging decision of my life and so obviously, I immediately went to David for his advice. David’s insistence that I could be better has been the catalyst to me becoming the man I am today and actualizing the potential that he has seen in me since Freshman year. Of course, David has been a phenomenal DJ, interviewer, trustee, advisor, salesman, and so much more but in my personal opinion, David’s biggest contribution to WHRB has been his unshakable faith in the incredible potential of the station’s undergraduate DJs.įew adults in my life have ever demanded more from me than David has.
