LOL, man, why don't you get off my back? I've spelt it wrong only once not twice. What's your dahmn problem?
Yes, I agree with you, why do we know so little about Duse Mohamed and Hubert Harrison??
Harrison was absolutely a wizard.
Check what Harrison famously remarked :
""Show me a population that is deeply religious, and I will show you a servile population, content with whips and chains, contumely and the gibbet, content to eat the bread of sorrow and drink the waters of affliction.""
Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd,....I can imagine Kris jumping head first when Harrison made this remark-in his 1914 book-->LOL!!
Anyway I know St.Croix is one of the U.S Virgin islands, right?
I knew about Hubert Henry Harrison from reading about Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B.Dubois, and Harlem life during that period BUT, I am completely stunned to realize how intellectually accomplished Hubert Harrisson was.
Dude was more learned & informed than practically everyone else of that period, including Garvey, Booker T, Phillip Randolph, etc etc etc..
Talk about having a brilliant mind!
So how the hell do we know about everyone else yet so little about Hubert Henry Harrison?
btw, from my reading so far, I understand why folks like Garvey & Booker T. etc., towered over Harrison in terms of our historical memory.
I will get back to this later.
Also, one of my brothers lived on Estate Concordia in St.Croix so I am well aware of that area BUT, I had no idea that's where Hubert Harrison was born. How sad.
Will get back to this..
Doing more reading & research on his wife..
Hoping he's not into white chicks like Duse Mohamed
And Mr TheOne, the great scholar of LLC, you spelled Hubert Henry Harrison's name WRONG..you need to apologize. Lol
