DESCRIPTION:Video Showing & Discussion: "For the Liberation of Black People and the 
 Emancipation of All Humanity" by Bob Avakian\n\nOne of the things that 
 comes through most powerfully in Bob Avakian’s memoir1 is that a profound 
 hatred for the oppression of Black people has been a defining part of Bob 
 Avakian’s life from the time, as a teenager, he learned about the lives 
 of the Black people with whom he developed deep ties of 
 friendship.\n\nNever feeling that, because he is white, “it is not his 
 place” to be involved in the struggle against this oppression—but, on 
 the contrary, determined to contribute whatever he could to this 
 struggle—Bob Avakian (BA), from the time he worked closely with the Black 
 Panther Party in its revolutionary days in the 1960s, has made the 
 liberation of Black people a defining part of his life’s commitment and 
 work.\n\nAs he developed as a revolutionary communist, and emerged as 
 the foremost revolutionary leader and thinker in the world, this commitment 
 has become even deeper and has been strongly interwoven with a dedication 
 to the emancipation of all humanity from every form of oppression and 
 exploitation.\n\n"There would be no United States as we now know it today 
 without slavery. That is a simple and basic truth."\nBob Avakian, BAsics
