Hubert Harrison: "Voice of Harlem Radicalism" on Zoom
Dr. Perry will join us to discuss his work on Hubert Henry Harrison, both "Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883-1918", and the recently published companion piece "Hubert Harrison: The Struggle for Equality, 1918–1927."
Hubert Harrison (1883-1927) is one of the truly important figures of early twentieth-century America. A brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist, he was described by the historian Joel A. Rogers, in World’s Great Men of Color as “the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time” and “one of America’s greatest minds.”
Jeffrey B. Perry is an independent scholar and archivist. He is the author of Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883–1918 (Columbia, 2008) and the editor of A Hubert Harrison Reader (2001), and he preserved and placed Harrison’s papers. He is also the literary executor for Theodore W. Allen, preserved and placed his papers, and edited and introduced the expanded 2012 edition of Allen’s two-volume The Invention of the White Race.
The talk will be followed by Q & A.
