Cruse, Harold Wright
▪ 2006

      American social and cultural critic (b. March 8, 1916, Petersburg, Va.—d. March 25, 2005, Ann Arbor, Mich.), authored The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual (1967), a best-selling critique of the integrationist approach of many liberal African American intellectuals. Cruse argued for black Americans to embrace their own distinctive economic, political, and cultural institutions. With LeRoi Jones (now Amiri Baraka), Cruse founded the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School in Harlem, New York City. Though he never graduated from college, Cruse was awarded a professorship in 1968 at the University of Michigan, where he taught history and African American studies until 1984.
