An award-winning intellectual biography of the Caribbean-born journalist, activist, and educator Hubert Henry Harrison, who generated an array of visionary solutions to the systemic injustices of his day. Harrison blazed a trail for Black workers and organizers in the Socialist Party, Freethinking, Garveyist, and Free Love movements. Because of his fearless radicalism, however, the full scope of Harrison's revolutionary legacy has been erased from popular memory. Until now.
