The New International, January 1945

 

Negroes and the Revolution

Draft Resolutions of the Workers Party Open a Discussion


From The New International, Vol. XI No. 1, January 1945, pp. 7–20
Transcribed and marked up by Damon Maxwell for ETOL.

 

With the publication of the following two resolutions on the Negro problem in America, The New International opens its columns to a discussion of this all-important question. These draft resolutions were presented at the last convention of the Workers Party held in 1944. The resolution by David Coolidge was adopted by the National Committee of the Workers Party, while the resolution by J.R. Johnson represents a minority position. Both documents are now before the Workers Party for general discussion. With the opening of the columns of The New International to an objective discussion of the Negro question, contributions are naturally invited. – The Editors
