Catch Part II of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2 Reunion — featuring a performance of Kim Zolciak’s gay anthem “Tardy For The Party” — this Thursday 11/5 @ 9/8c only on BRAVO!
The class, about HBO’s gritty se ries about life in the Baltimore ghetto, will be taught by sociology professor William J. Wilson, one of the most well-known Black professors of history in the country. He’s also a huge fan of the show.
The announcement came at a panel discussion at the school featuring several of the show’s stars, according to the Harvard student newspaper, The Crimson.
“I do not hesitate to say that it has done more to enhance our understanding of the challenges of urban life and the problems of urban inequality, more than any other media event or scholarly publication,” Wilson told the audience before poking fun at himself.
Harvard will be not the first college course on The Wire. Courses on the TV show already exist at Duke University and Middlebury College.

His slew-footed 2006 reality TV debut on Dancing With The Stars didn’t go over so well, but Master P has high hopes for his return to the tube in the VH1 special No Excuses with Master P.
No Excuses, a half-hour special premiering Monday, Oct. 26 @ 10:30PM, features P — whose real name is Percy Miller — trying to help a former gang member turn his life around through his philosophy of “work hard and never make excuses.”
“People think that the only thing that sells on TV is sex or people showing off their lifestyle or what not, but people want to think, too. They want to be educated,” he explains. “My goal is to touch people. To show others what someone had to go through to change their life so that maybe someone watching can do the same.”
Sickle cell anemia may have played a significant role in the death of Ashley “AJ” Jewell, the ex-fiancé of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burress, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday.
Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Kelly Rose has revealed that preliminary autopsy results led her to believe that AJ, who died two weeks ago after a brawl in the parking lot of an Atlanta strip club, suffered from the life long blood disorder that inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body.
“…It’s most likely that Jewell was worked up from the fight — and because of his condition, it’s probable that he couldn’t replenish the oxygen he lost during the incident … which the Dr. says could have fatal consequences.”
The father of six suffered severe head injuries during the fight at Body Tap. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, and later died.
