Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, San Francisco City College
| ZO International Advisory Board
Willie Mack Thompson is an avid African art collector, historian, Board Contributor for the National Museum of African American History and Culture, has been very active in many social justice movements and has established several educational endowments at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Mack, as colleagues and family affectionately refer to him, has built several homes and allowed ZO Magazine to film in one of the stunning ones that he built in Oakland. His incredible story has depth and impact both in the U.S., Cuba, Haiti and many places in South America where he has traveled extensively. We are privileged to have some of the materials that will go into a documentary about him now in progress.
Willie “Mack” Thompson — passed from this world on July 30, 2024. A Memorial to his “Well Lived Life” can be found at this link on his Family’s website.
ZO is adamant in our belief that life is Eternal . . . we still very much feel Mack’s presence in continuing our course and are grateful for the time he was available to advise us in person.
We will keep this Team page up for Professor Thompson for the duration of ZO’s Existence in this incarnation . . .
