Jamison-Hall displays such enthusiasm for black writers such as Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, Paul L. Dunbar, Gwendolyn Brooks, Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West and Ann Petry that her students can't help but catch it from her. Her courses are considered a crown jewel in the Department of African American studies. Not even dialysis three times a week for three hours a day has diminished her fervor for African American literature.
