Journalist, activist, popular historian, and public intellectual,
Lerone Bennett Jr. left an indelible mark on twentieth-century
American history and culture. Rooted in his role as senior editor
of Ebony magazine, but stretching far beyond the boundaries of the
Johnson Publishing headquarters in Chicago, Bennett's work and
activism positioned him as a prominent advocate for Black America
and a scholar whose writing reached an unparalleled number of
African American readers.This critical biography-the first in-depth
study of Bennett's life-travels with him from his childhood
experiences in Jim Crow Mississippi and his time at Morehouse
College in Atlanta to his later participation in a dizzying range
of Black intellectual and activist endeavors. Drawing extensively
on Bennett's previously inaccessible archival collections at Emory
University and Chicago State, as well as interviews with close
relatives, colleagues, and confidantes, Our Kind of Historian
celebrates his enormous influence within and unique connection to
African American communities across more than half a century of
struggle.
