| Summary: | Civil rights activist Rozell "Prexy" Nesbitt was born on February 23, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Antioch College, he attended Columbia University and earned his Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University. Active for over four decades in labor and race relations movements, Nesbitt advised governments and lectured widely across the globe. He traveled to Africa more than seventy times, including trips taken in secret to Apartheid South Africa to work with labor movements. In 1986, Chicago's Mayor Harold Washington named Nesbitt as special assistant. Nesbit wrote extensively, publishing a book and articles in more than twenty international journals. He served as a co-writer on the BBC production of The People's Century program "Skin Deep", about racism in the United States and South Africa. In 1993, Nesbitt became a senior program officer with McArthur Foundation's Peace and International Cooperation program. His work garnered numerous awards.
