New Front

Because I know for a fact that a lot of the visitors come in the side door, I just wanted to draw attention to the new front.
If you wave your mouse over the top "History Is A Weapon," you get to see a bunch of pictures. For our groupies, (you know who you are) we'll post what all the pictures are: The books are as follows:The Autobiography of Malcolm X, SDS by Kirkpatrick Sale, Black Reconstruction by DuBois, The Angela Davis Reader edited by Ms. James, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Rodney, Black Heretics, Black Prophets by Bogues, Chomsky's Understanding Power, Assata, A People's History of the United States, Lockdown America, Hammer and Hoe, The Cointelpro Papers, Black Feminist Thought by Collins, Capitalism and Slavery, and Gramsci's Prison Notebooks. Coming out of the books to the right is a picture of Nat Turner organizing his rebellion in the backwoods. For each of the letters, W is three black women at a march for Union Justice (I think this might have been from Memphis after King was killed, but don't quote that), E is Rosie the Riveter, A is a smiling Malcolm, P is a lynched black man, O is John Brown (Not Lincoln as someone groggily guessed, we still challenge his legacy around here), and N is from Angela Davis's FBI Wanted Poster.
If this doesn't work on anyone's browser, please let us know in the comment section or by sending us an email, because we don't want to sacrifice use for aesthetic. Thank you to the people that chimed in their support in the research phase, you can all consider yourselves honorary members of the paper tiger auxiliary cadre of HIAW. Speaking of which, at the moment, History is a Weapon is both a dot com and a dot org but is also available shortened for the ultra-lazy at hiaw.org. So you have no excuse when you get into arguments with fools and you want to footnote them with some reading material for after the bar, you write it on a book of matches.
