Synopsis "James Hudson: Forgotten Forerunner in the Crusade for Civil Rights de Larry Omar Rivers(Univ pr of Florida)"

A brilliant philosopher and hisinfluence on the rise of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement Whileintellectual histories of the civil rights movement often center Martin LutherKing Jr.'s writings, author Larry Omar Rivers argues that this approach leavesout the scholar-activists who set the path for King. In this volume, Riverstells the mostly unknown story of James Hudson (1903-1980), a Blackphilosopher, Florida A&M University professor, activist, and religiousleader whose philosophical contributions laid a key piece of the groundwork forthe emergence of the civil rights movement. Drawing on little-used primary source documents and originalinterviews with people who knew Hudson well, Rivers examines how Hudson'straining at Morehouse College, Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, and BostonUniversity shaped his scholar-activism, including his decision to become aPersonalist philosopher. As Rivers shows, Hudson crafted an influentialphilosophy of life--a blend of Socratic inquiry, moral imagination, African Americanspirituality, and Gandhian nonviolence--that became an essential foundation forthe rise of King, another Personalist philosopher. The book also sheds newlight on the connections between the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and thelesser-known 1956 Tallahassee Bus Boycott, which together helped spark the formationof the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. This long-overdue biography is notonly an insightful exploration of the intellectual and activist landscape ofthe Black community from the 1930s to the 1960s but also the story of an unsunghero and his involvement with important scholarly communities that influencedthe trajectory of the civil rights movement. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanitiesthrough the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for theHumanities.
