The African Blood Brotherhood was a short-lived but highly influential Black Liberation organization in the US, formed during the infamous “red summer” of 1919. That year saw murderous pogroms against African-Americans from Chicago to St. Louis, yet it also was a year of rising militant resistance to racist oppression. The African Blood Brotherhood was formed in part to organize physical resistance to pogroms, but also to organize for socialist revolution against white supremacy. Many members of the African Blood Brotherhood eventually joined the nascent Communist Party and helped to shape their policy on Black Liberation through the 1920’s and 30’s. Notable African Blood Brotherhood comrades included queer communist poet Claude McKay, whose 1919 poem “If We Must Die” epitomized the African Blood Brotherhood’s spirit of militant struggle.

Bumped so more brehs can see this
great bump for a great thread
The evil deeds of this country and those who helped further the segregation will be paid, best believe it...
They can continue to sweep things like this under the rug or tell us to "forget about it" "it was so long ago" yet want us to Remember the Holocaust or what have you. Only so much more we, as a people, can take.
They're going to wish they treated us better b/c I honestly feel like we're headed for a "race war"of sorts...the media is stoking the fire and it's just a matter of time...
Props on this thread...will read when I get home from work
