Motown voices call us to fight fascism -- Part One

For black history month, we interviewed two veteran activists of the 1970s Detroit black liberation struggle. In the book, "Motown and The Making of Working Class Revolutionaries", Jerome Scott and Walda Katz-Fishman describe how black industrial workers understood that gains won from corporations and racist unions would be thwarted by automation and changes in the global economy. They began to study Marxism to understand the system and reformulate their political perspective. The result was 50 years of study, struggle and the ability to anticipate the revolutionary moment we are in today.
