About This Book

The speaker addresses Black workers with a direct appeal against racial discrimination, recounting the brutal legacy of chattel slavery and its persistent consequences. He frames race prejudice as ignorance, urges equal treatment within labor movements, and advocates solidarity across racial lines through socialist principles. The address critiques social and economic injustice, celebrates collective action, and calls on marginalized workers to join a common struggle for equality and improved labor conditions.
