Biography

John Henrik Clarke, historian, educator and advocate of African heritage and black studies programs, was born a sharecropper's son in Union Springs, Alabama, in 1915. Raised in Georgia and forced to drop out of school to help support his family, Clarke came to New York City in 1933 where he trained himself to study history. He would eventually write, edit or contribute to some 30 books; write short stories, articles and essays; co-found the Harlem Quarterly (1949-1951); was an associate editor of Freedomways Magazine (1962-1982); would lecture extensively; and would conduct research in most of Africa. During the 1960s, he was the Heritage Teaching Program director for HARYOU-ACT (Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited); was consultant and coordinator for the 1968 CBS television series "Black Heritage"; and was an associate professor of Black and Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, New York (1969-1986). After his retirement, he would continue to support black studies programs and criticize social injustice for the rest of his life. Clarke died in New York in 1998.
