Bruce Dixon

A habitual troublemaker and incorrigible activist, Bruce Dixon has been comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable since 1968. As a rank and file member of the Black Panther Party in 1969-1970, a 1970s rank-and-file union activist in a string of factories, plants and workplaces, a 1980s community organizer in what were then some of the nation's poorest neighborhoods, to organizing and consulting through the 1990s, Dixon has built an impressive record of service in and to the cause of human liberation. Dixon lives in the Atlanta area, and is managing editor at Black Agenda Report.
