Re: [Marxism] Derrick Morrison on post-Katrina New Orleans

I'm curious who's next to show up outside the SWP. And if the last one to leave will turn out the lights.

== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Thanks for posting this. Derrick and I were room mates in Philadelphia in the seventies. I have fond memories of Derrick listening intently to Joni Mitchell's "The Blue Album." His intellectual tastes were and I am sure still are extremely broad ranging. I can hope now that I might see him at Labor Notes or some such venue.

== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == I don't see anything by Derrick at MIA, but he is mentioned in Breitman's significant article: http://www.marxists.org/history/etol/writers/breitman/1967/03/speech.htm PS: The chair of the forum which Breitman is commenting on was Milton Henry, brother of the late Imari Obadele (s/n Richard Henry), founder of the Republic of New Afrika.
