Revolting Capital

There is a fundamental contradiction in U.S. Imperialism: the capital of this empire for
decades has had a majority Black population, which-in turn-has created favorable
conditions not only for the erosion of the pestilence that is racism but the flourishing of the
antidote that is radicalism.\nIn this sweeping history, Gerald Horne traces this phenomenon over a century, in a book
which should be understood and studied by all anti-imperialist and progressive forces. This
relatively small metropolis also has influenced profoundly its neighbors in Maryland and
Virginia, especially in the potent area of labor organizing.
