Abstract Economist and academic administrator Edward Irons was born in Hulbert, Oklahoma on August 29, 1923. After attending Attucks High School, Irons was drafted into the U.S. Navy. While recovering from rheumatic fever in a V.A. hospital, he and several other patients organized a sit-in to protest segregation in the hospital. From there, Irons attended Wilberforce University. He earned an M.A. degree in hospital administration from the University of Minnesota in 1951. Irons left a teaching job at Florida A&M University to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. In 1964, he and his partners opened Riverside National Bank in Houston, Texas, the first African Americans to be given a charter in forty years. From there, Irons worked for USAID and served as dean of Howard University's business school. He also worked as consultant to dozens of organizations around the globe. He was professor and dean of the business school of Clark-Atlanta University.
