George Padmore: Black Marxist Revolutionary — A Memoir - CLR James

James has frequently said: "George Padmore in my view is one of the greatest politicians of the twentieth century. He earned for himself the title of ‘Father of African emancipation’. I knew him from the time I can remember myself and through all our lives when we were together we had similar attitudes to the emancipation of Africa and the need for black people to establish themselves as ordinary people.” This is the edited text of a talk given in North London in 1976. -Intro from At the rendezvous of victory
