Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Communist Activities in the Cleveland, Ohio, Area, Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Eighty-Seventh Congress, Second Session, July 4 and 5, 1962
Mrs. Brown's testimony was productive of much new and useful information concerning Communist tactics in fund raising; racial discrimination within the Communist Party structure, described by Mrs. Brown as Jim Crow practices; the implementation of united front tactics which was prescribed as the chief task of the party at the December 1959 National Communist Party Convention in New York City; and the organization in 1958 of a new Communist Splinter group, the Provisional Organizing Committee for a marxist-leninist Communist Party.
Additional information was obtained relating particularly to the creation and manipulations of two organizations, namely, the Sojourn ers for Truth and Justice and the National Negro Labor Council, which were designed to involve Negroes in the activities and objectives of the Communist Party. Mrs. Brown testified about the activities of numer ous organizations operating within the Cleveland, Ohio, area, includ ing the Progressive Party, the Ohio Committee for Protection of For eign Born, the Ohio Bill of Rights Conference, and the Myrtle Dennis Defense Committee. She detailed the action of local Communist Party members in the employment of these groups for the exploitation of Communists and non-communists alike.
