Biographical/ Historical

James Allen Moss was born in Newark, New Jersey on March 27, 1920 to Marion Thompson Wright, an African-American scholar and activist, and William Moss. James A. Moss had an expansive academic career in both teaching and administration. From 1942-1948 Moss attended both Fordham University and the New School for Social Research in New York where he received a B.A. in Sociology. During this time, he simultaneously served in the United States Army at Fort Dix, New Jersey as a Supply Sergeant.

Moss continued his educational pursuits and obtained both his M.A. and Ph. D from Columbia University.Upon finishing school, Moss served as a university professor and administrator at various institutions throughout his life. Before settling into his last, and longest, academic role from 1976-1988 at Adelphi University, as a Professor of Social Science and the Director of the African-American Studies Program, Moss taught at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez and Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Of the administrative roles he held are Vice President and Deputy for the President of Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York and Acting Dean for International Studies at the New York State University in Buffalo.

He also extended his social science expertise and knowledge beyond the field of academics. For a period of time, Moss served as Chairperson of the Middlestown New York Housing Authority, worked for the United States State Department as a Research Programs Officer, and partner with the United Nations to research and write on economics, housing and social conditions. Moss also had a deep commitment to social betterment and served as the Associate Secretary of the Methodist Federation of Social Action with the Methodist Church (now The United Methodist Church).

In conjunction with his academic work, Moss lectured throughout the West Indies, Europe, and Africa and was the author of many articles related to race relations in America and abroad. He also served as editor and contributor to the book, "The Black Man in America, Integration and Separation."

Moss and his wife, Juantia Moss, had two children, Jay Allen Moss and Alison Wright Moss. On June 20, 1990 in New York, NY James A. Moss died of a heart attack.

Scope and Contents
