This gets back to the contributions of the communist party thread. Communists were not without problems on these issues, but there is very good evidence that they were better than everybody else. Of course, as we all know, not all workers are communists.Earl Ofari Hutchinson's REDS and BLACKS, Robert Allen's RELUCTANT REFORMERS, Gerald Horne's BLACK AND RED, Philip Foner's ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE BLACK WORKER, Herbert Hill's BLACK LABOR AND THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM, and other writings by Angela Davis, Herbert Hill, the Foners, etc. are all useful and informative here. We should also look at the work of Du Bois, C.L.R. James, Eric Williams, Harry Haywood, Abram Harris, Oliver Cox, George Washington Woodbey, Paul Robeson, Aime Cesaire, George Padmore, Walter Rodney, etc., etc., and the many Black Marxists, Socialists, Communists who have "sweat blood" (or just bled) over these issues.
