The US Black Liberation Movement Has Always Been Internationalist
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
30 Sep 2019
🖨️ Print Article

African Americans practiced an internationalist politics in their epic struggle against US white supremacism, said Paul Ortiz, professor of history at the University of Florida and author of the new book, “An African American and Latinx History of the United States.” Blacks looked for inspiration and support from Haiti and the anti-colonial struggles in Latin America and Africa. According to Ortiz, escaped US slaves “found sanctuary as much or more in Mexico as they did in Canada.”
