Jeffrey B. Perry is an independent working class scholar formally educated at Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers, and Columbia. His work focuses on the role of white supremacy as a retardant to social change and on the centrality of struggle against white supremacy to social change. Perry’s most recent book “Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883-1918” chronicles one of the most influential voices for democracy and freedom that stirred the masses in Harlem at a time when Black radical thought centered on a new race-consciousness.
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.
