On June 13, 1980 radical historian & political theorist Walter Rodney was assassinated. To honor his life & legacy I worked w/ @bostonreview.bsky.social to publish Stuart Hall's previously unpublished 1974 speech in support of Rodney. Rodney and Hall speak to our conjuncture w/ remarkable clarity.
“Today their legacies demonstrate the imperative of organic intellectuals to confront authoritarian nationalism and forge global solidarity.”

@jordantcamp.bsky.social introduces a previously unpublished 1974 speech by Stuart Hall on Walter Rodney, who was assassinated 45 years ago tomorrow:

Wonderful article in CBH on the practical intervention of New Left activists in the Labour Party in the early 60s. Turns out, it could have been Stuart Hall that pioneered the art of daily conference bulletins, made famous by CLPD in the 70s and 80s. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
