The Importance of Self-Determination in Black Liberation
The text by Harry Haywood discusses the historical context of debates within the Communist Party USA in the 1950s regarding their stance on black liberation. Haywood advocated for self-determination for black people in the US, arguing that national liberation was crucial for black liberation. This view was predominant in the party but faced opposition over time, especially due to demographic shifts. Haywood's defense of the black belt thesis emphasizes the ongoing relevance of self-determination in the fight for black liberation.
