THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 134: McCarthyism and the Civil Rights Movement w/ Paul Heideman

The traditional narrative of the Civil Rights Movement centered on Martin Luther King and the N.A.A.C.P is often repeated to highlight liberal reform to the Jim Crow racial order that gripped America at that time. However, few Americans are aware of how much radical Black labor activists challenging the domination of capitalism were integral demanding solutions rooted in political economy as a means to address the conditions of Blacks in the United States. In this episode we will discuss how the McCarthy Era anti-communist fervor blunted the efforts of Black radicals to achieve solutions rooted in the economic reality of Black life.   Read the works of Paul Heideman in Jacobin: https://www.jacobinmag.com/author/paul-heideman Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
