Howard Johnson, A
Communist in
“I saw it [the Communist Party] as
an action organization. Things were
happening. And the kind of things that
were happening I didn’t regard as subversion of the government, I regarded
it as good for me and for other blacks… The struggle against Jim Crow and baseball. Putting people who had been evicted from their
houses back in their buildings…[The] interracial
activities that they developed” (Schrecker, 110)
