The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, had a deep effect on young Taliaferro. The day following King's assassination, he took part in the occupation of a university building at Western Michigan University. The students protested the lack of African-American faculty among other academic demands.[4]

He majored in political science and graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1969, where he formed the Black United Front to advocate for African-American studies in Midwestern higher educational institutions.
