Get This Issue Out on Campuses!

August 26, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

 

This special issue of Revolution/revcom.us focuses on two important anniversaries of major crimes by the system:

• In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans—and the people in the poorest sections of the city, mainly Black, were not only abandoned and given zero help from the government, they were treated like criminals. More than 1,000 people died in the hurricane and its wake, and hundreds of thousands suffered greatly.
• In August 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black youth from Chicago visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi, was kidnapped by white racists because he had whistled at a white woman. A few days later, Emmett Till’s body was found in a river. He had been lynched—beaten and shot to death.

The basic themes of this special issue are: How long will these crimes go on? There IS a way out! REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS!

Out to the campuses, in a BIG Way with Revolution/revcom.us!

With the opening of the colleges, universities and high schools for the school year, many people are looking for ways to have their education be part of making the world a better place for humanity.  Revolution/revcom.us needs to be out in a big way as part of these discussions, provoking questions, providing a scientific understanding of events, and giving an understanding of how this can be changed and how building a movement for revolution will get us there.
