About this Event
Hubert Harrison generated an array of visionary solutions to the systemic injustices of his day. After blazing a trail for people of color in the Socialist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World, Harrison emerged as one of the most prominent freethinkers and free lovers of his generation. He practiced armed self-defenseand called for an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist "Colored International" alliance in the face of European colonialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Most spectacularly, Harrison's Liberty League of Negro Americans catalyzed the rise of Marcus Garvey and the largest internationalorganization of Black people in modern history (the Universal Negro Improvement Association).Because of his fearless radicalism, however, the full scope of Harrison's revolutionary legacy has been erased from popular memory. Until now.
