| Summary: | Social worker and academic administrator Hubert Eugene "Hubie" Jones was born on December 13, 1933 in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City. Jones attended the City College of New York and moved to Boston following his graduation. He earned his M.S.W. degree from Boston University in 1967 and worked for a number of Boston's social service agencies. Jones published a report on the systematic discrimination against disadvantaged children in the Boston public schools, leading to the passage of two landmark laws in Massachusetts, the Special Education Law and the Bilingual Education Law. After serving as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jones became the first African American dean at Boston University in 1977, serving until 1993. Between 1995 and 2002, Jones served as special assistant to the chancellor for urban affairs at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. In 2002, he founded the Boston Children's Chorus.
