Born in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, Harrison immigrated to the United States as a teenager and settled in New York City.

He was also a co-founder of the Harlem Socialist Club, which was an influential group in the early 20th century black intellectual movement. Harrison's writings covered a wide range of topics, including race, politics, and history.
