On Friday, July 2 be part of a campaign to reach 1000 views of this powerful clip. This is a proper way to mark July 4th and is part of putting revolution, and revolutionary leadership, on the map.
Starting from the great abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass' bold and cutting speech, "What to the Slave is Your Fourth of July?" Avakian lays bare the system that has evolved in the US, rooted in slavery, fed by brutal exploitation, and inextricably bound up with white supremacy. "White supremacy is built into the foundation of this country," Avakian says. "It is something that this system, and those who rule it, could not do without, even if they wanted to...which they don't."
