Raleigh-Durham, NC: Marx at 200 - A birthday celebration & political discussion

Saturday, May 5 - 6:00 pm

Lion’s Park,  516 Dennis Ave, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604

Hosted by Workers World Party Durham Branch

“The chief thing in the doctrine of Marx is that it brings out the historic role of the proletariat as the builder of socialist society. Has the course of events all over the world confirmed this doctrine since it was expounded by Marx?” (Lenin) This May 5 marks the 200th birthday of Karl Marx, the German philosopher and revolutionary socialist whose ideas laid the groundwork for revolutions and liberation movements around the world. Join Workers World Party Durham Branch as we celebrate Marx and learn more about the impact of his legacy on social movements today. Our celebration of Marx is a celebration of countless uprisings here in the U.S. such as Chicago, Oakland, Charlotte, and revolutions and movements from the Soviet Union to Cuba, Venezuela to Viet Nam, South Africa to the Philippines.

Chicago: ‘No monuments to racism’

By Catherine Kavanaugh

Near a busy corner on Chicago’s South Side, on April 7, cars slowed and passersby honked or raised their fists in support at the sight of a small group holding a banner proclaiming, “Honor Black Lives — No Monuments to Racism.”

Chants of “You can’t stop the revolution! Black women bring the solution!” rang out as more activists and community members gathered to demand the removal of a monument to Confederate soldiers known as the Confederate Mound. The 50-foot marker dominates Oak Woods Cemetery in the Black working-class neighborhood known as Grand Crossing.

Since last September, members of Smash White Supremacy-Chicago, led by Black Youth Project 100 and the local branch of Workers World Party, have gone door-to-door in Grand Crossing to investigate the impact of the Confederate monument on the people who live in its shadow. They were also promoting BYP 100’s #HonorHerLabor campaign to replace the monument with a statue of anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells. The grave of that legendary African-American journalist, newspaper editor and anti-lynching activist rests just yards from the Confederate Mound.

Struggle Against White Supremacy Claims Victory: CHARGES DROPPED in #DefendDurham case!

On February 20, Durham District Attorney Roger Echols announced that all charges had been dropped against the eight anti-racist freedom fighters stemming from the righteous people’s toppling of the Confederate monument in Durham, N.C., on Aug. 14. This includes not only the five who were to return to court on April 2 – Takiyah Thompson, Elena Everett, Jess Jude, Q Wideman, and Joe Karlik –  but additionally overturns Loan Tran’s earlier plea. On February 19, Raul Jimenez was found not guilty on all charges, and the cases against Dante Strobino and Peter Gilbert were dismissed.

This victory is the result of one thing and one thing alone: the conviction and determination of a mighty movement against white supremacy and the racist system that it upholds
