Join Houston DSA for the first session of a series in which we discuss Robin D.G. Kelley’s “groundbreaking contribution to the history of the ‘long Civil Rights movement,’ Hammer and Hoe tells the story of how, during the 1930s and 40s, Communists took on Alabama’s repressive, racist police state to fight for economic justice, civil and political rights, and racial equality.” What lessons can we draw from this moment as we struggle against fascism in our own time.

In this first session of three part series, we will be discussing the following:

Session 1: The General Strike and Re-Genesis

1. General Strike, Chapter 4 of Black Reconstruction by W.E.B. du Bois

2. Chapter 1, Hammer and Hoe
