Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the famous 'I have a dream speech' by Martin Luther King Jr. Today 50 years later the United States, with its first ever black president, is still the richest and most powerful country on the planet, with more than enough wealth to provide a high quality of life for everyone living here. And yet, shocking inequality and the poison of racism are everywhere, and are in fact integral to the continued domination of U.S. capitalism. On this occasion we are republishing Black Struggle and the Socialist Revolution, a pamphlet which was originally published in 2008 explaining the roots of racism in the USA and how to fight it.
