Study Group
This week we will be discussion chapters 3 - 6 of the great book Communists in Harlem During the Depression. Even if you have not read it come out and learn more about the great work done by the single largest multi-racial organizing group in the 1930's.

More about the book:
No socialist organization has ever had a more profound effect on black life than the Communist Party did in Harlem during the Depression.

Mark Naison desribes how the party won the early endorsement of such people as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and how its support of racial equality and integration impressed black intellectuals, including Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robson.

This meticulously researched work, largely based on primary materials and interviews with leading black Communists from the 1930s, is the frist to fully explore this provocative encounter between whites and blacks.

You can order the book online from Haymarket Books or come to the meeting and buy a copy from us.
