Joseph E. Black
MEET JOE BLACK!
Political Scientist, Educator, Gardener, Philanthropist, Humanitarian, Veteran, Grandfather, Father and Husband. A traveler to places near and far, and now off on a new journey to join friends and relatives who have made that journey before him. Joseph E. Black was born September 14, 1921 in Blanding, Utah. Always the student, Joe continued his education after high school, going to Dixie College, Utah State University, and finally to Northwestern University, where he received his PhD in Political Science. While at Northwestern, he met and then married his wife, Gertrude Nelson, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Joe was a veteran of World War II, having served in the Pacific in the USAF. Joe spread his love of learning through his teaching. At Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, Dr. Black's classes were often nominated as one of the best at the University, especially his classes on Africa. That notoriety got him noticed and in 1963 he took a leave of absence to work for the Rockefeller Foundation in Ibadan, Nigeria, and direct their program there while teaching at Ibadan University. This turned out to be an excellent experience for Joe and his family. After leaving Nigeria, Joe went to work for the Rockefeller Foundation fulltime as Director of the Humanities and Social Science Division in New York City. In 1978, Joe was once again given the opportunity to serve the foundation in an overseas venture and he and Gertrude went to Jojakarta, Indonesia, for 5 years. Here, Joe was the director for the foundation's program for third world countries at the University there. Retirement brought Joe to Salt Lake City, Utah. His love of people, nature, the arts, the Utah Sons of the Pioneers and tomatoes is known far and wide. With tears of joy and sorrow, we send Joe off using a favorite phrase that he brought back with him from Indonesia, ON!, ON! Joe is survived by his wife, Gertrude N. Black; children: Burton K. (Linda) Black, Carol Ann (Jonathan) Levy, and Sandra Lee Black; eight grandchildren, one great grandchild; siblings, Oris Black and Iwan Balck. Preceded in death by daughter, JoLynne Black Stout and grandson, Aaron Mullins.
