- Abstract
The article discusses the relation of the U.S. Communist Party (CP) to the opposition to anti-black racism, or the American Negro question, from 1919 to 1924. Topics include the role of black communists in the movement, the relation of the party to the international communist organization Comintern, and views of socialists on the relation between class-based and racial oppression. Also noted is the New Negro movement, with the organization African Blood Brotherhood (ABB) and black nationalist Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) as predecessors of black communists. The 1924 World Negro Congress in Chicago, Illinois is mentioned.
