| Summary: | Civic activist and professor Harry Edwards was born in 1942, in East St. Louis, Illinois, to Harry and Adelaide Edwards. Edwards attended San Jose State University where he graduated summa cum laude with his B.A. degree in sociology. In 1966, Edwards received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology from Cornell University in 1970. Edwards was a founding member of the United Black Students for Action and the Olympic Project for Human Rights organizations that spearheaded the 1968 Olympics Black Power salute at Mexico City. He later taught as a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley and served as a consultant for major professional sports organizations on issues of diversity. In 2016, Edwards rescinded his affiliation with the University of Texas at Austin, which had established a lecture hall in his name in 2014, in protest of the implementation of the State of Texas "campus conceal carried law".
