An intellectual biography of the trailblazing African American historian, activist, and scholar.
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
Ebonymagazine, but stretching far beyond the boundaries of the Johnson Publishing headquarters in Chicago, Bennett established himself 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 archival collections at Emory University and Chicago State, as well as interviews with close relatives, colleagues, and confidantes,
Our Kind of Historiancelebrates his enormous influence within and unique connection to African American communities across more than half a century of struggle.
