Reaganism: Black Genocide
From a Communist Workers Party-linked Poster advertising a protest in 1982:[2],[3]
"Reaganism: Black Genocide Take Our Fight to the World's People! March to the U.N. May 22!"
- "Leaflet advertising an African Liberation Day 1982 demonstration at the United Nations. The leaflet says the lives and freedom of Black people in the U.S., southern Africa, and the Caribbean are threatened by an onslaught of unprecedented ferocity spearheaded by the Reagan administration. Reagan supports Black slavery in South Africa. The leaflet notes it is the tenth anniversary of African Liberation Day and 1982 has been declared the "International Year of Mobilization for Sanctions Against South Africa" by the UN Committee Against Apartheid. Slogans include "Take Our Fight to the World's People! March to the U.N. May 22!" "Self-Determination and Equal Rights for Black People from the U.S. to S. Africa!" and "Full Sanctions Against South Africa! Freedom for Namibia, Victory to SWAPO!"
