Today in Labor History May 19, 1989: Trinidadian Marxist historian and journalist C.L.R. James died. James was the author of The Black Jacobins (1938), Breaking a Boundary (1963), numerous articles and essays on class and race antagonism, West Indian self-determination, cricket, Marxism, & aesthetics. In 1933, he published the pamphlet The Case for West-Indian Self Government. He was a champion of Pan-Africanism and a member of the Friends of Ethiopia, an organization opposed to fascism and the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. He also wrote a play about the Haitian Revolution, Toussaint L’Ouverture, the Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History. Paul Robeson starred in the 1936 British production.

Yay! Roston Chase got his 50. I loves the spirit of this team. They are applying themselves and getting runs even facing a big defeat. This time in the middle is so valuable for their batsmen and will help them prepare well for future games. Nothing can replace experience in the middle.

Lord Kitchener (1922 - 2000) Trinidad

An important lesson to biracial folks about internalised racism and participation in colourism/featurism that's been absorbed from their environment. It's important to educate your kids on these issues because if you don't society will teach their way. If you're white, you need to find people and material to teach these lessons for you.
