Biography

Harry Lee Morrison (October 7, 1932 – January 14, 2002) was an American theoretical physicist and the first African American physics faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focused on statistical mechanics within theoretical physics, and he was known for his demonstration in 1972 of the absence of long-range order in quantum systems in two dimensions, that was a result from the breaking of a continuous symmetry. Morrison was also a founding member of the National Society of Black Physicists.
