The CME has been educating revolutionists since 1975 by hosting events that are free and open to the public. Through the generosity of volunteers, we provide lectures, films, book talks, strategy meetings and discussion groups from global, national, and local socialists for anyone who believes that capitalism isn't working, and wants to find a better way. We regret that the CME is not accessible.
EVENTS ARE BEING HOSTED ON ZOOM AUGUST 2021A CME SPECIAL EVENT
Saturday, August 7 | 2:00 - 4:00 PM Three Historians Speak on Tulsa 1921 Pandemic-conditions permitting, the CME hopes to make this an in-person, as well as Zoom event. Please look for further notices! Oklahoma was a powder keg of struggle in the years preceding the Tulsa atrocity of 1921. Tenant farmers, sharecroppers, and workers -- Black, white and Indian -- joined forces in struggles against landlords, usurers and their formal and informal forces. In 1917, the "Working Class Union" tried to launch a US-wide armed insurrection against the US government and its impending entry into World War I. Later in 1917, the "Knights of Liberty", a Klan precursor, tarred and feathered more than a dozen IWW members in Tulsa. Even the 80-years-late 2001 Oklahoma Commission on the 1921 “Tulsa race riot" (the term the Commission used) admitted that the attack on the IWW "proved to be an important step along the road to the race riot". In 1921, the Klan, police and oil company planes joined forces to burn down Tulsa's black section. Day-after images of Tulsa resemble images from Gaza after Israeli bombing. Famed -- and committed -- historians John Womack, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Robin DG Kelley will provide insights into the forces that led to the Tulsa atrocity on 1921.

History of the Communist Movement in Turkey, Part 2 Yusuf Gursey, Peace and Solidarity Commission, CPUSA The Communist movement in Turkey has faced severe challenges since its founding shortly after the Russian Revolution. And yet it persists, despite splits, martial law, and Turkey's use by imperialism as a base against the Soviet Union and the world communist movement. Part I takes us from the founding of the Communist Party of Turkey in 1920 to 1960. Part II, on Saturday August 7, will take us from the revolutionary upsurges in the 1960s to the martial law period, Gorbachev's negative influence, on to the present.
