26 March, 2004: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following six original documents from the history of the early American Marxism:
Radicalism Under Inquiry: Conclusions Reached After a Year's Study of Alien Anarchy in America. by Sen. Clayton R. Lusk [Feb. 1920] An article published in the February 1920 issue of "The Review of Reviews" in which the chairman of the New York "Joint Legislative Committee to Investigating Seditious Activities" makes his case.
‘Farewell!’ to the Socialist Party: An Appeal to Its Remaining Members: Statement by the Committee for the Third International of the Socialist Party to the Members of the Socialist Party. [Circa July 1921]. The Committee for the Third International was the organized faction for Left Wing realignment of the Socialist Party of America in 1920-21, after the departure of the great bulk of the Left Wing Section for the Communist Party of America, Communist Labor Party of America, and Proletarian Party of America.
Program of the African Blood Brotherhood. [As published April 1922] Programatic statement of the African Blood Brotherhood, as published in the April 1922 issue of the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Of particular note is a conscious application of the tactics employed by the Sinn Fein in Ireland, with the advocacy of a "Pan-African army, whose very existence would drive respect and terror into the hearts of the white capitalist-planters, and protect our people against their abuses.
The Declaration of Independence of the American Working Class, by John
Pepper. [July 1923] The Hungarian revolutionary Josef Pogany ["John Pepper"] came to the United States in 1922 to assist with the Hungarian-language Federation of the American party and soon became one of the Workers Party's most authoritative voices.
Throughout his tenure in America, Pepper was an outspoken (and nearly
single-minded) advocate for the formation of an American Labor Party—with Communist participation in that organization as a constitent body.
[Mitch Abidor]
American Negro Problems, by John Pepper. [1928] Full text of a pamphlet published by Workers Library Publishers in 1928. The Hungarian revolutionary Josef Pogany ["John Pepper"] outlines the situation facing the Communist Party with regards to black liberation: "The Communist Party cannot be a real Bolshevik Party without being also the Party of the liberation of the Negro race from all white oppression," he notes.
This Post-War Generation and Our Time: Will It Be Able to Find a Way Out? by Anna P. Krasna [April 30, 1931] Anna P. Krasna, a Slovene-American writer, appeals to the youth of America to wake up and begin to take an active interest in politics, as a new war was in the wind. The post-war generation had been bred upon illusions of individual
success and was learning that the brutal reality of the economic system was
different, Krasna stated.

Letter to the Workers Party of America from the Communist International,
January 1923. The Second Convention of the legal Workers Party of America, held in New York in December of 1922, formally applied for admission to the Communist
International. This reply of the CI informs the WPA that its party is admitted only as a “sympathizing party” rather than as a fully affiliated organization.

[April 28, 1923] A short May Day message from “The Worker” in which the head of the Workers Party of America contrasts the current situation with the grim days of 1920, when outcast American Communists, “despised and ignored,” were “driven underground, their organization destroyed.”
[Thanks to Mitch Abidor]
The Role of the Workers Party, by C.E. Ruthenberg. [July 1923] A somewhat mistitled article from “The Liberator” in which Workers Party of America Secretary C.E. Ruthenberg recounts the split of the socialist movement into right and left wings. Ruthenberg dates this split back to the 1914.
[Thanks to Mitch Abidor]
Soviet Russia and the Negro, by Claude McKay. [Dec. 1923] Claude McKay’s account of his Nov. 1921 trip to Soviet Russia. McKay found a lack of racism that was a marked change from the attitude to blacks pervasive in America, England, and Germany.

6 March, 2004: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following three documents from the history of the Communist Party of America:
A Report on the American ‘Negro Problem’ for the Communist International, November 1922, by Claude McKay. This is an unpublished report written by Claude McKay for the Communist International, preserved in the Comintern Archive in Moscow.
Report on the Negro Question: Speech to the 4th Congress of the Comintern, Nov. 1923, by Claude McKay. Claude McKay’s lengthy report on the situation of the black workers’ movement in America. McKay states that “the American capitalists are using Negro soldiers in their fight against the interests of labor.”
To General Secretary of the ECCI Vasil Kolarov from Claude McKay in Moscow, Dec. 23, 1922. Claude McKay, a renowned poet and political activist, was one of the leading
black American Communists during the decade of the 1920s. In Moscow as a
delegate to the 4th Congress of the Communist International, McKay took a direct
interest in the Comintern’s plans to subsidize a propaganda paper targeted to
American blacks. In this letter to the General Secretary of the Executive
Committee of the Communist International and member of the ECCI Presidium Vasil
Kolarov (1877-1950), McKay argues for a delay in the subsidy until the political
situation in the American CP stabilizes. He also argues the unsuitability of
Cyril Briggs, former editor of the African Blood Brotherhood’s official
publication, to serve in a comparable role with the new publication, instead favoring
W.A. Domingo, the former editor of the newspaper The Emancipator.
