Biography
Former Urban League CEO Hugh Price is descended from
Boston's celebrated fugitive slave, George Latimer, and his son, Lewis
Howard Latimer on his mother's side of the family. Price was born November
22,
1941 in Washington, D.C. and grew up around the campus of
Howard University where his father, Dr. Kline Price, practiced medicine.
He attended Blanche K. Bruce Elementary School, Georgetown Day School and
graduated from Coolidge High School in
1959. He graduated from Amherst College in
1963, and that summer served as a marshal for the March On Washington.
He finished Yale University Law School in
1966, and in the process of offering low-income legal services to the
Black Coalition of New Haven, became its first executive director.
Price joined Cogan Holt and Associates in
1970 to evaluate programs for the Ford Foundation and worked in
community development. By
1976, he was Human Resources Commissioner for New Haven, and in
1978, Price moved his family to New York to take a position on the New
York Times Editorial Board. Leaving in
1982 to become senior vice president of WNET/13, Price moved on to join
the Rockefeller Foundation as vice president of philanthropy in
1988. There, he instituted the National Guard Youth Challenge and the
Coalition of Community Foundations for Youth. As CEO of the
National Urban League, Price established the Institute for Opportunity
and Equality and revived Opportunity. He has been a director of Metropolitan
Life, Inc., Sears, Roebuck and Co. and a member of the Corporate Governance
Committee of NYNEX Corporation. He is currently senior advisor and co-chair
of the Nonprofit and Philanthropy Practice Group for the law firm of Piper
