Module 4: Strategy and Tactics, the Science of Class Struggle
Class: The Black Belt and Black Liberation
Date & Time: Weds, April 10, 6:30-8:30PM
Description: Throughout American history, Black liberation in the U.S. has taken many forms. The Black Belt Thesis adopted by the Comintern and the Communist Party USA in 1928 was foundational to Black liberation consciousness and the Black Liberation movement more broadly, particularly in the USA in the heart of the empire. Marked by debates on national identity, nationhood, race, and the role of the Communist Party, the Black Belt Thesis is critical to understanding the development of a socialist revolution in the United States.
Instructor: Eugene Puryear, journalist, writer, activist, politician, and host on BreakThrough News. He also wrote the foreword for “The Black Belt Thesis Reader,” available at 1804Books.
