The Negro and the Communist Party

Originally published in 1951.

This is the authentic story of the thirty-year effort of the Communist party to channel Afro-American protest in terms of Kremlin edicts rather than the Bill of Rights.

From its beginnings after World War I, the CP chose black people as a major target in its recruiting campaign. Wilson shows the patriotism and wisdom of the black leaders who have resisted the pressure of the Communist attack.
