One of the first black women to head an English department at a major research university, she worked for diversity in the literary canon as well as in the classroom.

Wall began her association with Rutgers University teaching there in 1972, and she would become a founder of the Rutgers English Diversity Institute, to encourage greater diversity among graduate students, as a result of which all English majors were required to complete a course in African-American literature.
Wall had a lifelong commitment to African-American arts and culture and was the founding board chair of the Crossroads Theater Company, the first Black Theater in New Jersey, founded by two Rutgers graduates, Ricardo Khan and Lee Richardson in 1978.
Cheryl Ann Wall was born in Manhattan, New York, and was raised in Jamaica, Queens.
Her father Rev. Monroe Wall was a pastor of Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Harlem, and her mother, Rennie Ray (née Strayhorn) Wall, was an English teacher in New York City public schools.
Cheryl attended Rhodes Preparatory School in Manhattan, and studied piano under Margaret Bonds.
She went on to earn a B.A. degree in English from Howard University and her Ph.D from Harvard University on a Ford Foundation scholarship.
An award-winning researcher and teacher, she was named the Board of Governors Zora Neale Hurston Professor in 2007.
