Clarence Bertrand Thompson (1882 - 1969) was the first African-American graduate of the University of Southern California Law School. He later served as a business consultant, business professor, scientist, and clergyman in the Unitarian Church. Thompson joined Edward Filene, a pioneer in using worker input in management decisions, at the Boston Chamber of Commerce. There he discovered the management theories of Frederick Winslow Taylor. Appointed lecturer on manufacturing at Harvard's new Business School in 1910 , Thompson became an exponent of “Taylorism,” but he challenged Taylor's elitism in his 1914 book Scientific Management. He turned down a full professorship at Harvard in 1916 and became instead a pioneer in international management consulting.
