July 26th Organizing Committee
Background
An ambitious communist/marxist coalition was formed because "July 26th, 1973, provides an opportunity for us to learn and gain a new perspective on the last 20 years in Cuba. The July 26th Organizing Committee (J26OC), a group primarily of North Americans who have traveled to Cuba," was formed by members of the Communist Party USA , black leftists and members of the CPUSA/DIG-created Venceremos Brigade to propagandize young Americans on behalf of Castro's communist dictatorship.
