to his biography, his increased involvement with the Black Power movement and his leadership in campus protests led to his
dismissal from Howard in 1967. In 1968, Hare was hired at San Francisco State, where he was involved in the strike to establish
the Black Studies Department. Hare was fired from State in 1969. That same year, he co-founded the journal The Black Scholar,
with Robert Chrisman and Allan Ross. Hare resigned from The Black Scholar in 1975. He
earned a second Ph.D., in clinical psychology. and set up a private psychotherapy practice in San Francisco. Hare was also
