The second volume on the life and works of Hubert Harrison, the Harlem-based activist, organizer and journalist, is about to be released. Biographer Jeff Perry has spent almost four decades researching Harrison, who he described as āa socialist who worked closely with Marcus Garvey and was the first to write about the āNew Negroā in the first quarter of the 20th century.ā Harrison deserves to be in the pantheon of formative Black political thinkers and doers, but his principled politics, unsparing journalistic critiques, and refusal to be bought earned him few boosters.
āSo they go forward with the old plan, the only one they've got. Attack Iran.ā
Somaliland aspires to be an āindependentā US military enclave in the Horn of Africa.
Minnesotaās progressive myth shatters as its racial gaps in income, education, and housing eclipse even Deep South states, and right wing whites turn to violence against their own people.
The Middle Eastās only real weapons of mass destruction are Zionism, U.S. imperialism, and Israelās nuclear arsenalāa toxic trifecta fueling endless war.
"City of Angels" is the latest from BAR's Poet-in-Residence.
