Somewhere in the past, while browsing
in a place I can't even remember,
I came across a little book on this
little Black GENIUS:

FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, THIS BROTHER
HAS BEEN ON MY MIND- I LOOKED FOR
THE BOOK I HAD ON HIM, BUT COULDN'T
FIND IT- I KNOW IT'S IN THE BOOKCASE,
JUST GOTTA FOCUS ON FINDING IT~
SINCE HE HAS BEEN ON MY MIND,
WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU:
Hubert Henry Harrison
INTELLECTUAL GIANT AND FREE-LANCE EDUCATOR (1883-1927) THAT INDIVIDUALS of genuine worth and immense potentialities who dedicate their lives to the advancement of their fellow men are permitted to pass unrecognized and un-rewarded from the scene, while others, inferior to them in ability and altruism, receive acclaim, wealth, and distinction, is common--yet it never ceases to shock all but the confirmed cynic. Those with a sense of right and wrong, of fitness and incongruity--whether they are wise men or fools--will forever feel that this ought not to be.
But why are so many who we feel really ought to be up, down; and why are so many who certainly ought to be down, up?
Hubert Henry Harrison is the case in point. Harrison was not only perhaps the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time, but one of America's greatest minds. No one worked more seriously and indefatigably to enlighten his fellow men; none of the Afro-American leaders of his time had a saner and more effective program-but others, unquestionably his inferiors, received the recognition that was his due. Even today only a very small proportion of the Negro intelligentsia has ever heard of him.
