Abstract
Activist, existential philosopher, professor, and Unitarian Universalist minister Rev. Dr. William “Bill” Ronald Jones dedicated his career to the analysis and methods of oppression, religious humanism, and liberation theology that influenced Africana philosophers such as Anthony B. Pinn and Lewis R. Gordon.  Born July 17, 1933, in Louisville, Kentucky to Lannie Belle Brogsdale, a caterer, and Henry Wise Jones, a US letter carrier, he was the second youngest of six children (Beechie, Cecil, Gilmer, John and Lela). Jones was reared on Chestnut Street in Louisville’s “Harlem,” home to the nation’s first public library open to African Americans.
