Black Think Tank Speakers
Dr. Julia Hare
 Dr. Julia Hare is the queen of Dr. Nathan Hare, a pioneer of black studies. The Black Think Tank has turned our talented cofounder, Dr. Julia Hare, loose on the lecture circuit in all her elocutionary preakness. Already widely regarded as one of the most dynamic motivational speakers on the nation's podiums today, if you've had the opportunity to hear her, you know precisely why she has gained such high demand and popularity at conferences and campuses.
If not, get ready for a black-eyed Susan with a militant savoir-faire and a sharp, but silky, tongue that is stylishly fueled by knowledge, brilliance, and wit. Let's just say this sistah is a lady Malcolm with a rapier-like delivery reminiscent of Garvey and a touch of the eloquence of King—a woman for all seasons, who tells it like it is and lays it on the line with a folksy cornucopia of militancy and class. So, whether you're male or female or undecided, ethnocentric, afrocentric, eurocentric, egocentric, or just eccentric, you go away both wonderfully pleased and pleasured by the charm of a unique voice that is powered by a pristine singularity of purpose, nothing less than a vocal black widow spider too far beyond ideology to mind or measure.
Dr. Julia Hare reminds us of things we'd sometimes rather not remember, but makes us think, as well as laugh, and audiences find her unforgettable.
As a speaker, Dr. Julia Hare has electrified such forums as Tavis Smiley's "State of the Black Family" conference, as well as the San Francisco unveiling of The Covenant. Others include the annual Essence Empowerment Seminars at the Essence Culture Festival. She has embellished Congressional Black Caucus panels with Cornel West and John Hope Franklin. She was one of the keynote speakers at the Annual Power Networking Conference of the 19,000-member FraserNet Group, along with Les Brown, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Na’im Akbar. She is a regular at the State of Black Students symposia currently sweeping the country with former BET personality Jeff Johnson, best-selling novelist Omar Tyree, and assorted academicians of prominence. Her next stop was the annual convention of the 100 Black Men of America, focusing on "Saving Our Sons: The Education Crisis among African-American Boys." Dr. Julia is the author of the highly amusing and insightful tell-it-like-it-is blockbuster, How to Find and Keep a BMW (Black Man Working). A former ABC talk show host in San Francisco, Dr. Julia Hare has appeared as a guest on radio and television network programs nationally and internationally.

Dr. Nathan Hare
Dr. Nathan Hare was the first person hired to coordinate a black studies program in the United States, at San Francisco State. When the Howard University administration announced a plan at the end of Black Power Summer in 1966 to make Howard “sixty per cent white by 1970,” Dr. Hare (then a popular young sociology professor) advocated by contrast that Howard become a "black university relevant to the black community and its needs." An unprecedented student uprising ensued, and Dr. Hare was eased out of Howard at the end of the year but was soon recruited to San Francisco State to write "The Conceptual Proposal for a Department of Black Studies." When SF State’s administration balked, he joined with thousands of black and white students, professors, and community activists in a 5-months strike led by the Central Committee of the first Black Students Union in the United States. Dr. Hare was a member of the BSU Central Committee while simultaneously the first chairman of the first Department of Black Studies in the United States. In the aftermath, he went on to become the founding publisher of The Black Scholar during its first five years. Aside from The Black Scholar, Dr. Hare has written and published many articles in both popular and intellectual periodicals including Ebony, Newsweek, The Saturday Review, the Massachusetts Review, Negro Digest, Social Forces, Social Education, The Black World, and the Times of London. He is the author of the underground classic, The Black Anglo Saxons, and has received a number of national distinguished scholar awards for his work in black studies, sociology and psychology (he has Ph.D.’s in both).
Dr. Hare has lectured in every state in the United States, as well as in Montreal, London, and Algiers. He was invited to the First Pan African Festival of Arts and Culture (Algiers) and was a member of the North American Zonal Committee of the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture held in Lagos, Nigeria. Esquire magazine once included Dr. Hare in an article on "Thirteen Top Black Intellectuals." Since 1977, Dr. Hare has been engaged in the private practice of psychotherapy in San Francisco. Over the past ten years, he has been enjoying a protracted moratorium, burning the midnight oil while reflecting and writing on his forthcoming magnum opus, which he expects to finish this fall before returning to the lecture circuit to convulse the realm of public intellectuals.
