Glen Ford: Solidarity 2009 Northeast Regional... by SolidarityUS

Glen Ford discusses the conflict between the tendencies of Black elevation (Black faces in high places) and self determination in the Black community. He describes how many Black leftists could simultaneously be revolutionaries and support Barack Obama. Ford gives a history of right wing attempts to grab Black support through the creation of Black corporate Democrats like Cory Booker and Barack Obama.
