SUMMARY:'Black History Is for Everyone' with Brian Jones
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 2\, 2026\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nLongtime educator Brian Jones explores how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race\, nation\, and the stories we tell about who we are. In Black History Is for Everyone\, Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history\, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything — from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.” With warmth and immersive storytelling\, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history\, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high\, the effort is worth it. \nBrian Jones has taught many ages and grades in New York City’s public schools and the City University of New York. He served as the inaugural director of the Center for Educators and Schools at the New York Public Library and was the associate director of education at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. The author of The Tuskegee Student Uprising: A History\, his writing has also appeared in The New York Times\, the Guardian\, and Jacobin.

SUMMARY:Slavery and Capitalism: A Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a nine-session reading group on David McNally’s recently published Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History. McNally’s book presents a systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery to support the provocative claim that enslaved labor in the plantation system is a form of capitalist commodity production. Weaving together history\, political economy\, and radical abolitionism\, McNally demonstrates that plantation slaves formed a modern working class and highlights the self-activity of enslaved people fighting for their freedom. He reframes their resistance as labor struggles over production and reproduction\, with significant implications for US and Atlantic history and for understanding the roots of racial capitalism. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Over the past decade\, Fred has led numerous MEP study groups on political economy\, ecosocialism\, science and technology\, and Latin American politics. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nEnrollment for this study group is now closed.

SUMMARY:Reading 'Karl Marx in America'
DESCRIPTION:An eight-week study of Andrew Hartman’s recently published Karl Marx in America.  To read Karl Marx is to contemplate a world created by capitalism. People have long viewed the United States as the quintessential anti-Marxist nation\, but Marx’s ideas have inspired a wide range of people to formulate a more precise sense of the stakes of the American project. Historians have highlighted the imprint made on the United States by Enlightenment thinkers such as Adam Smith\, John Locke\, and Thomas Paine. Marx is rarely considered alongside these figures\, yet his ideas are the most relevant today because of capitalism’s centrality to American life. Karl Marx in America argues that even though Marx never visited America\, the country has been infused\, shaped\, and transformed by him. \nFacilitated by David Worley\, a member of the executive committee of the Marxist Education Project and a longtime associate of the Brecht Forum\, where he served a term as co-chair of the Board of Directors. David is a nonsectarian socialist\, active since the 1960s in support of a wide range of peace and social justice causes.

SUMMARY:Karl Marx in America with Andrew Hartman
DESCRIPTION:A video of this October 26\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nHistorian Andrew Hartman introduces his new book\, Karl Marx in America. To read Karl Marx is to contemplate a world created by capitalism. People have long viewed the United States as the quintessential anti-Marxist nation\, but Marx’s ideas have inspired a wide range of people to formulate a more precise sense of the stakes of the American project. Historians have highlighted the imprint made on the United States by Enlightenment thinkers such as Adam Smith\, John Locke\, and Thomas Paine. Marx is rarely considered alongside these figures\, yet his ideas are the most relevant today because of capitalism’s centrality to American life.

SUMMARY:Theodore Allen's 'The Kernel and Meaning': A Strategic Critique of U.S. Labor History
DESCRIPTION:“The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see for many decades. Yet the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” –W.E.B. Du Bois\, Black Reconstruction \nBefore Theodore W. Allen turned to his magnum opus\, The Invention of the White Race\, he drafted an essay “The Kernel and Meaning: A Contribution to a Proletarian Critique of U.S. Historiography.” In it\, he assessed how the industrial bourgeoisie successfully overturned plantation capital’s rule while assuring its own ascendancy over the proletariat. Allen reviewed six commonly held explanations as to why\, despite favorable objective conditions\, the U.S. left and workers movements failed to establish socialism or even a permanent working-class party. Inspired by Du Bois’s Black Reconstruction\, Allen introduced an extended critique of the “white blind spot” in Marxist-oriented historiography as a key source of the failure to develop a proletarian strategy. Subsequent chapters highlight Du Bois’s emphasis on the central role of the fight against white supremacy in the class struggles of that era and the defeat of Black-white solidarity during Reconstruction\, the 1877 railroad strike\, the Black Exodus\, the Redeemer-Populist struggles in the 1880s\, and the rise of Jim Crow. \nParticipants in this six-session group will read and discuss the original\, 160-page typescript of Allen’s unpublished essay\, written in the 1970s and accessible through the Special Collections of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. \nFacilitated by David Slavin. David has taught US and world history at the college level for 30 years and written two books on French anti-imperialist movements and race. In the 1970s he was a construction worker and labor troublemaker in NYC and\, in the mid-1980s\, research director of District 1199\, the NYC hospital workers union. He grew up in the Bronx\, has lived in Atlanta for the past twenty years\, and just finished an essay on “Redlining the Working Class: The Social Security Act of 1935\, the New Deal\, and the Nationalization of Jim Crow.”

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Part II\, Surveys From Exile
DESCRIPTION:At Karl Marx’s burial\, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all\, a revolutionist.” Yet\, after 150 years\, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. Perhaps because of this\, his ideas about the state\, governments\, political struggles\, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties.

SUMMARY:The Political Writings of Marx and Engels: Part II\, Surveys From Exile
DESCRIPTION:At Karl Marx’s burial\, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all\, a revolutionist.” Yet\, after 150 years\, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. Perhaps because of this\, his ideas about the state\, governments\, political struggles\, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties. This group is reading and discussing original texts by Marx and Engels about their theory of class struggles as the motive force of human social evolution and the modern working class as the political antagonist of the capitalist system. That class has the power\, by abolishing itself\, to usher in a society beyond class exploitation.
