Today is the birthday of Hubert Harrison. I just completed Jeffrey B. Perry’s 760+ biography of his life from 1918 to 1927, and I highly recommend this book.
On Wednesday, April 29th, 2021, Abdus and Jacquie Luqman hosted me on THE CYPHER series on Luqman Nation to talk about this book. I was most interested in how biographer Jeffrey B. Perry wrote about Marcus Garvey’s 1922 arrest. This arrest represents a watershed moment Harrison’s philosophy that became more hostile to nationalism; and it was a watershed moment in Harrison’s personal life. I highly recommend reading this biography.
