The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Gerald Horne: Protests and Paul Robeson in Context

Published: July 1, 2020, 4 a.m.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Gerald Horne. The Moores Professorship of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston, Dr. Horne investigates "issues of racism in a variety of relations involving labor, politics, civil rights, international relations and war." We recently read his biography on COINTELPRO victim and friend of Albert Einstein, Paul Robeson. Dr. Horne's work seemed to highlight the enormous surveillance that Robeson was under because of his intellect and his potential to counter-racism. Dr. Horne has written a wealth of material of White Supremacy, so we'll also discuss his 1995 publication, Fire this Time: The Watts Uprising and the 1960s. The System of White Supremacy guarantees riots against the police killing of black people. We'll place the current protests in a greater context, and ask Dr. Horne about the direction of current events. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
