ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Louis E. Lomax, one of the nation’s best-known social critics and lecturers, was born in Valdosta, Georgia, on August 16, 1922. Educated at Paine College, Augusta, Ga., American University, and Yale University, Mr. Lomax has served on the faculty of Georgia State College, in Savannah, as assistant professor of philosophy. His career as a professional writer began with the Afro-American and subsequently he became a staff feature writer for the Chicago American. His magazine articles have appeared frequently in Harper’s, Life, Pageant, The Nation, and The New Leader. In 1959, when Mr. Lomax joined Mike Wallace’s news staff in New York, he became the first Negro newsman to appear on television. His first book, The Reluctant African, was given the Saturday Review Anisfield-Wolf award of 1960 for the book dealing “most creditably with social and group relations.” His second book, The Negro Revolt, was both definitive and prophetic: Lomax predicted that Negroes would take their cause from the courtroom into the streets and market place, and his reportorial analysis of the forces now at work in the race struggle has placed him among America’s foremost authorities on social issues. One of the most sought-after lecturers in the nation today, Mr. Lomax lives with his wife in St. Albans, New York.
