Well, to be fair, the formation of the Committees of Correspondence was in many ways an attempt to form a multi-racial radical congress of different groups, including many of the folks who went on to work on forming the Black Radical Congress.

And hell, given their demographic makeups, a large portion of so-called socialist groups might as well be labelled as "white radical" groups.

CB: Well, true. By the way, I was a founder of the C of C, with Angela Davis, Charlene Mitchell , Kendra Alexander, Manning Marable ., et al. ( we all Black, but there were others who are white ). You can see my picture in the early publications.
