Charles V. Hamilton

Charles Vernon Hamilton (born October 19, 1929) is a political scientist, civil rights leader, and the W. S. Sayre Professor Emeritus of Government and Political Science at Columbia University.[1]

Biography

Hamilton was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He graduated from Roosevelt University in 1951,[2] and went on to earn a master's degree in 1957 from the University of Chicago.[1] He joined the Tuskegee Institute faculty in 1958, but his contract there was terminated in 1960,[2] and he returned to the University of Chicago, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1964.[1] He held faculty positions at Rutgers University, Lincoln University (Pennsylvania), and Roosevelt University before joining the Columbia University faculty in 1969.[2] Hamilton retired from the Columbia faculty in 1998 and later moved to Chicago.

His most noted work is Black Power: The Politics of Liberation, written with Stokely Carmichael.[1][2]

Cashmore and Jennings argue that Hamilton and Carmichael were the first to use the term institutional racism in a systematic fashion.[3]
