The Richard Hunt Legacy Foundation mourns the death of its respected, beloved, board member, and Richard Hunt’s cousin, Michael Dinwiddie. Accomplished playwright, composer, and scholar, Dinwiddie was a professor and leading voice at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU. His legacy lives on in his plays, scholarship, the commemoration of the historic African Grove Theater, which he helped bring about, and in the lives and hearts of his students, colleagues, and fellow board members.

​

The Richard Hunt Legacy Foundation board enjoyed Michael's passion for the arts and his cousin, Richard Hunt. The foundation offers its deepest sympathies to the Dinwiddie family, his sister and fellow Richard Hunt Legacy Foundation board member, Michelle Dinwiddie-Segue, and Michael's husband, Vincent Parham, Jr. Michael is irreplaceable, and will be keenly missed.
