Hubert Harrison was an immensely skilled writer,
orator, educator, critic, and political activist who, more than any
other political leader of his era, combined class consciousness and
anti-white-supremacist race consciousness into a coherent political
radicalism. Harrison's ideas profoundly influenced "New Negro"
militants, including A. Philip Randolph and Marcus Garvey, and his
synthesis of class and race issues is a key unifying link between
the two great trends of the Black Liberation Movement: the labor-
and civil-rights-based work of Martin Luther King Jr. and the race
and nationalist platform associated with Malcolm X. Jeffrey Perry's critically acclaimed
biography of Harrison offers profound insights on race,
class, religion, immigration, war, democracy, and social change in
America.
