An unlikely warrior : Herman Ferguson, the evolution of a Black Nationalist Revolutionary
This book tells the story of Herman Ferguson's amazing life, the twists and turns which led him from a childhood in North Carolina to the summit of Black academia; through a personal war with the military establishment to the Nazi submarine infested North Atlantic as a Merchant Marine seaman; through the communist influence of the labor movement to the Post-War euphoria of the 1950s; and professional accomplishment as a New York City school official. The book chronicles the journey of a seemingly All-American boy becoming a founding member of Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) and an eyewitness to his leader's assassination in Harlem's Audubon Ballroom.
