Welcome!
Thanks for signing up – here's what the project is all about...
In taking on the creation of this resource, we aim to make available over 60 years of study and struggle by collecting, archiving, and posting hundreds of writings spanning 40 years.
Through these writings, as well as discussions, and other projects we aim to provide a resource for those seeking to contribute to the movement for fundamental social change – a humane society.
Seeing that the archival efforts are already underway here are a few posts we’d like to highlight, some which I attach particular importance:
The Centrality of the Struggle Against Racism – Racism being not only central because of its effect on people of color, but because it impacts all peoples at home & abroad, and it is my contention that there can be no serious advance in our movement without such an understanding. Read more…
On Independent Politics – A burning task at this political juncture is the setting in motion of a mass movement of working people toward independent politics. In this piece, Joe defines the what/how of a truly independent movement.
The Culture & Politics of Black Literature | Sarah E. Wright - Learn about the heyday of revolutionary Harlem & the Harlem Writer’s Guild, the most important cultural organization producing many Black artists who achieved great prominence, through the eyes of one of its most important & influential members.

About Us
Joe G. Kaye - Joe has participated in a variety of social justice organizations and causes for over half a century. His writings have appeared in Haiti Progress, The National Guardian, and numerous other periodicals over the years. Currently, he is working on Elements of Dialectics for the Political Activist while continuing his daily focus on the history of African-Americans & the Centrality of Racism.
Joe, Paul, & many other comrades have teamed up to create this newsletter & website as a resource for activists in the hope it proves useful in the struggle for fundamental social change.
Sarah E. Wright - Sarah was a poet, novelist, and an inspiration to radical black writers. Born in Maryland in 1928, Sarah paved the road for many of her contemporaries & future writers through her incredible depictions of the black experience in America. As vice-president of the Harlem Writer’s Guild, Sarah acted as a leading force to her peers, helping guide them through their most active & important period. Her novel, This Child’s Gonna Live (1969) serves as the starkest & most honest depiction of the Reconstruction-era black experience, and just how little has changed.
In appreciation of a gifted wordsmith & great mind, Sarah E. Wright’s work will be archived & preserved here.
Paul Iacoveli - Faithful archivist & young revolutionary. Manages the archive, posting process, and the website/substack. I am always learning and always collaborating. Feel free to reach out and drop me a line and if you’d like to please check out my other work here!
