  • Summary

  • In the first episode of a four part series titled: Black Liberation and Freedom of all Oppressed Peoples, I talk about COINTELPRO. Which was a government sanctioned operation aimed to undermine the Black Panther Party and other socialist organizations in various ways from propaganda to violence to out right assassinations. In this episode I dive into the inter-workings of COINTELPRO, the effect of the Vietnam War on leftist organizations, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago 1968, and the role of the FBI,CIA, and presidential administrations (Johnson and Nixon). The premise is to show the extent in which the government went to prevent Black liberation and Class consciousness.  The source for this podcast was Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party by Joshua Bloom and Waldo E. Martin, Jr.
