The article is in the most recent issue (#66) of the International Socialist Review. Please contact us to get a copy, or check with your local newsstand (Barnes & Noble carries the ISR as well).
James Hickman and the radicals, socialists, and other activists who came to his defense, have largely been forgotten by history. Joe Allen's article unearths an important example of what is possible in the face of racism and repression, and holds lessons and inspiration for those struggling against racism and oppression today.
