Black Personhood: The Writings of Hal H. Harris
Here’s how to get oriented with my writing.
--
Welcome to my Launch page! I’m Hal H.Harris, a small-time writer trying to make it to the medium-time (get it?) and the finalist in the Work category for the first Medium Creators Challenge. I write to explore Black personhood. How do Black people live and love in the West, a civilization that did not have our living and loving in mind when white people created it through the triangle trade and slavery? I explore this question through longform, researched stories.
I hope this gets you quickly oriented on how you can contact me and access my writing!

My Latest Writing
The primary hub for my work is Established in 1865, my blog that is dedicated to answering my writer’s question. How do Black people live and love in the West, a civilization that did not have our living and loving in mind when white people created it through the triangle trade and slavery?
It’s the best place to keep up with both my recent longform and my Black on Both Sides newsletter, which I published every Sunday.
Creator’s Challenge
I tackled Medium’s Creator Challenge by writing all four prompts concurrently. Throughout these stories, you’ll see continuous, linked storytelling on my writer’s obsessions. Black personhood. Fried chicken. Politics. General Sherman. Hip-hop. Home repair. Cigars, and jerk chicken. They are also meant to be read in order.
