Albert J. "Al" McKnight, CsSp (August 18, 1927 – April 17, 2016) was an author, activist, Black Catholic priest and member of the Spiritans known for his advocacy for Black liberation and cooperative economics.
He was the principal organizer of the Southern Cooperative Development Fund (SCDF), Southern Development Foundation (SDF), and the Southern Consumers Cooperative (SCC). In 1968, Ebony magazine described him as having staged "a peaceful economic revolution."[1]
McKnight’s work with cooperatives and on behalf of impoverished black communities in the South was legendary, ultimately organizing over 2,000 low-income citizens in cooperatives throughout the South, mostly in Louisiana.[2]
