MLK Day Special: America Was Never Great: Slavery, Neo-Slavery and the Continuing Savage Oppression of Black People in the "Free-est Country in the World"!
Weekly Program
Douglas A. Blackmon (author of Slavery by Another Name); Bob Avakian (Revolutionary Communist Party, The RevComs)
Douglas Blackmon, author, Slavery by Another Name, reveals a stunning portrait of post Civil War neo-slavery where Black Americans were re-enslaved throughout the South on farms and in factories up until World War 2; Bob Avakian, the leader of the revolution and architect of the New Communism, digs into just how endemic the oppression of Black people is to American capitalism and democracy and sharply poses the question: What kind of society, what kind of system, is this?
