  a"Met any American communists lately? Between 1919 and the late 1950s, the Communist Party of the United States of America (CP-USA) engaged in a wide variety of challenges directed against the U.S. government and its economic system. Because of this, many aspects of the organization became well known to the American public. Indeed, in their day, the names of the organizational leadership (i.e., William Foster, Earl Browder and Eugene Dennis) were as popular as any at the time. Bent on dramatically transforming US political-economic relations, the Party attempted to raise awareness regarding the evils of the American political-economic system and engage in numerous struggles against it. The activities put forth toward these ends were as numerous as they were varied, from editorials to unionization to political campaigns to mass protests"  aSuzan Ashmawy ; revised by Fouad. 7aAfrican AmericansxPolitical activityxHistoryy20th century.2BUEsh 7aBlack militant organizationszUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcNovember2016  2ddc  c23111d23083  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2016-11-14ePurchaseg270.00h114l0o323.11960730904 DAVp000045082r2025-07-15 00:00:00v337.50yBB
