Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin was born on August 1, 1947, in the United States. He is a well-known African-American anarchist and was a member of the Black Panther Party. His writings and political advocacy are largely concerned with issues of race and class. He advocates for black anarchism, a form of anarchism that critiques the traditional anarchist movements' avoidance or dismissal of issues related to race.
Ervin's influential work 'Anarchism and the Black Revolution' is a foundational text in the study of black anarchism. His ongoing activism and advocacy have not only provided significant contributions to the anarchist movement itself but have also greatly influenced the broader field of political thought, specifically in regards to intersectionality and social equity.
