People's Tribune [25 issues]

Chicago: Communist League; Communist Labor Party of the United States of North America, 1971-1976. Newspaper. Twenty-five issues of the newspaper, published originally by the Communist League until August 1974, and then by the CLP from September 1974, after the latter group had been organized in Chicago. These issues are generally good to very good with the original horizontal fold, evenly toned, somewhat curled from storage. Issues present are vol. 3 no. 9; vol. 4 nos. 2, 6, 9, 10; vol. 5 nos. 2, 6, 7, 9; vol. 6 nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7. At this point, after the organization became the CLP, numbering started over again from the beginning. The present issues from the new series are: Vol. 2 nos. 9, 10, 13-18 (17 has handwritten notes), 20, 23; and vol. 3 no. 22.

There is an extensive focus on African American issues, including calls for a separate Negro Nation in the earlier issues. Party leader Nelson Peery was one of the most significant Black leaders within the anti-revisionist movement. Other frequent topics include coverage of rank-and-file labor activism and strikes, farmworker organizing, the struggle against a resurgent Klan, and more.
