Author James West will discuss Our Kind of Historian: The Life and Activism of Lerone Bennett, Jr. Journalist, activist, popular historian, public intellectual, and Hyde Park resident Lerone Bennett, Jr. (1928-2018) 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.
