Printed on single sides only. A lengthy explanation as to why the League of Revolutionary Black Workers split in 1971, written by three of the seven members of the central committee of the League: Ken Cockrel, Mike Hamlin and John Watson. The league formed in Detroit in 1969, as a way to unite various Revolutionary Union Movements in the city, all somewhat centered around the ideas of Black liberation and Marxist ideologies. It appears that there were several different schools of thought as to how to best achieve the League's goals, which led to dissension and some purges of members in 1971. Ken Cockrel, Mike Hamlin and John Watson discuss their roles in the organization, as well as their background and efforts in the Black liberation movement and in fighting for workers' rights, and also outline some of their disagreements with the league. FAIR condition, missing leaves/pages 21-24. First and last pages DETACHED but present. Moderate toning, minor wrinkling and creasing. Last few pages very poorly reproduced. Page 30 with a large tear at its upper left edge. PLEASE NOTE: the Marxists Internet Archive has a complete copy of this. Fair .
