Solidarity Between Black and White Workers

One of the finest expressions of class solidarity between the Negro and white workers in America recently took place in New York City. 
At a tremendous mass meeting of over 15,000 workers, organized by the International Labour Defense and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights to protest against the attempt of the capitalists to murder the Scottsboro boys and against the imprisonment of Tom Mooney and other class war prisoners, Mrs. Mary Mooney, the 85 year old mother of comrade Mooney, told the audience: 

[[bold]] "Nobody can understand better than I how the mothers of the Scottsboro boys must feel. My hear bleeds for them. Like them I am a mother who heard her innocent son sentenced to death, framed up by the courts of the ruling class. I feel a deep bond of sympathy with them."[[/bold]]

The black workers not only in America, but also in Africa and other colonies are realizing as never before their common class interests with the white workers and oppressed peoples of China, India, etc.; and the absolute necessity of uniting against all of their enslavers. Only such a bond of international working class solidarity can free Mooney and all other class war prisoners and save the lives of the Scottsboro boys.
