Communist Party USA

An icon among icons, following the great Frederick Douglass and the great Harriet Tubman, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, his teachings as relevant in 2012 as in 1912, or, as the celebrated St. Louis/East St. Louis metropolitan and local author, Dr. Eugene B. Redmond(recently honored at Berkeley by ABA for editing"Drumvoices Revue", and training three generations of writer/workers), has said of Du Bois-he was a great "institution builder".
Whether the N A A C P, The United Nations, Pan Africanism, Histiography, Anthropology or Sociology, his contributions as institution builder, especially as co-worker and partner with peoples, including Africans, Asians and Europeans, is yet, largely unknown and uncredited.
It is in these institutions, and in the world's university systems, labor unions, and its institutes, including those in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, that his people's history will become known and nurtured, the history of the African peoples.
Part of this history is that of the African American.
That the great African American people produced such a worker as Du Bois is a testament to their greatness.
Today, there are millions and millions of Black Burghardts.
These millions, along with their worker brothers and sisters, would do well to follow the Communist, Du Bois to fight the main obstacles to peace, jobs and progress in today's world-racism and anti-communism.
This will not be an easy fight, but the great African American people, along with others, have left us vast and hard institutions, like Christ's Church, The Communist Party and Pan-Africanism with which and through which to fight.
These three will focus on protecting the ballot, ridding our country of fascistic forces, and redirecting the U. S. economy toward peace and jobs in 2013 and beyond, and this discussion here will help that cause-on 6 November 2012. Let us all do all we can to mobilize the vote on this day, in a week and one.
