ANN DOUGLAS explains why US visitor Jarvis Tyner is the
perfect person to hear speak during Black History Month.
(Article originally appeared in Morning Star 10/11/2006) One
of the most prominent and influential leaders of the
American left will begin a speaking tour of Britain next
week, during what is appropriately Black History Month.

Carolina, he helped organise a boycott of the company's
'five and dime' stores in Pennsylvania.
