WILSON, Maloyd Ben
Innovation for Deeper Social Justice has been a trademark of Maloyd Ben Wilson since his college days at the storied University of Pittsburgh, flagship of Public Education in the Commomwealth of Pennsylvania.
While other student groups organized demonstrations, "Ben" Wilson negotiated a friendly takeover of nearly half the time slots of the university's radio for Black culture programming. There are so many arenas for Black Joy and Black Pride and Black Thought and Black Wealth and Black Genius to deploy themselves. Entrepreneurship through Intangible Wealth. Ben and his neophyte student colleagues used the program time for Blackside, a unique show while playing d-e-f-e-n-s-e on Pitt's Varsity football team.
After graduating with a Master's of Arts Degree in Communication in 1771 from the University of Pittsburgh, Ben thrived on the sports desk of the fabled Pittsburgh Courier. He subsequently moved his passion for sports from the gridiron to the typewriter. He would "scoop" the white press with the true inside stories of Pittsburgh's great Black sports stars such as Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, "Mean" Joe Greene, Franco Harris, John Stallworth, and the like.
Fast forward to the 1990s: we find Mr. Wilson as a Publisher of his Pittsburgh based Inside Sports. After the sale of this enterprise Ben upped his technology game with the creation of the Sports Video Magazine, a video tabloid that would go in depth on Black stories glossed over on ESPN for instance. Ben further evolved from sports events to Black History with his now prominent publication Black Chronicle book.
Maloyd Ben Wilson, lo and behold, was the founder and directed the University of Pittsburgh Jazz Ensemble, Pitt Jazz Band; was at some point an Agent for Black Athletes; wrote a format for the local television show WIIC Channel 11 in Pittsburgh, PA. The latter, called RAPPING, aired in 1973 – 1974 under the supervision of Dave Chase.
Ben taught at the University of Pittsburgh's Black Studies Department in the tumultuous academic year 1969 – 1970 with a "side gig" Radio and Television Production for Pitt's Department of Philosophy. Black Philosophy.
