Throughout the twentieth century, the Black freedom movement intersected in 
various ways with the communist and socialist movements. The first Black woman 
to run for president of the United States was Charlene Mitchell, who ran on the 
Communist Party ticket in 1968. From Hubert Harrison, W..E.B. Du Bois, and 
Claudia Jones, to Esther Cooper Jackson and Angela Davis, many of the leading 
lights of the Black movement have also been communists or socialists. Join this 
conversation to discuss this often overlooked red thread through Black radical 
history.

The discussion features authors *Barbara Smith* ( Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn 
Me Around: Forth Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith), *Robin D.G. 
Kelley* (Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times), 
and *Charisse Burden-Stelly* (co-author with Gerald Horne, W.E.B. Du Bois: A 
Life in American History ).

The talk is part of the Schomburg Center's Conversations in Black Freedom 
Studies series.

Conversations in Black Freedom Studies is supported in part by the Deutsche 
Bank Americas Foundation.
