Ive been put in charge of Black History Month events at a public school. On of the things we are doing is a person+ quote announced in the mornings about historic Black people.

I want to create a list entirely of influential Black leftists and some quotes.

It still needs to be approved by the "moderate" priciple, so try and keep the people and quotes subtle enough that they can be mentioned in a school (yeah Ik, Im still gonna try and get Malcolm X in but i think that might get removed. )

Comrades! please list your favorite badass Black leftists and cool quotes by them , would actually help me get some leftist stuff (even just a tiny bit) into this school.

    Langston Hughes was a comrade who will absolutely slip through undetected. Idk a specific lefty quote for him besides just reading the "Lenin marches around the world" poem - which you likely couldn't get away with.

      hes already on my list lol. The quotes themselves dont necessarily need to be leftist. I just want it so when a kid gets interested in any of these people they go and look them up and find out, 'hey that person was a socialist/communist/whatever.'
