His dissertation was Re-examining Early Prophetic African American Voices in The Church of Christ: A Best Practice Model for Community Engagement. Dr. Price’s calling in life is to model ethical and moral faith-based leadership to improve all humanity. Currently, he is working on an academic publication examining the relationship between faith formations and advocacy. Dr. Price is currently in his fifth term as the chairman of the Mayor’s Outreach Taskforce, an appointed official liaison between citizens, city officials, and law enforcement agencies. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the National Urban League, and has received numerous civic awards. Most recently, the Mayor of Tupelo, Todd Jordan, proclaimed May 29, 2022, as “Dr. Richard Price Day” for his advocacy and leadership throughout the community.
