Small booklet. 24 pp. Issued by the Black Liberation Commission (part of the Progressive Labor Party), this booklet offers a somewhat polemical take on the US government and the need for Black liberation. It asserts that the US mainstream newspapers and journals are complicit in trying to foment a race war through bias and scare tactics, nd accuses Black leaders such as Jackie Robinson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of being "Uncle Toms." The work highlights police and government repression of the Black community, especially led by J. Edgar Hoover. Among the demands listed by the Black Liberation Commission are organized resistance to the police; community control over schools; the right to defend oneself by any means necessary, etc. The Progressive Labor Party was formed after a split with the Communist Party USA, adhering to Chinese doctrine until the early 1970s. GOOD+ condition. Some scuffing along the extremities. Heavy toning to the text block. Good .
