Summary "The Negro Workers: Address Delivered Tuesday, October 30, 1923, at…" by Eugene Victor Debs is a political address presented during the early 20th century. The text encapsulates Debs's passionate appeal for the rights and recognition of African American workers within the context of the broader labor movement. It serves as both an indictment of racial discrimination and an exhortation for solidarity among the working class, regardless of race, showcasing Debs's commitment to socialism and equality. In his address, Debs addresses the historical injustices faced by African Americans, criticizing the deep-seated racism that has marginalized them in society and labor. He draws on personal experiences and examples to emphasize the need for colored workers to unite, seek political empowerment, and reject the capitalist parties that exploit them. Debs argues that the struggle for racial equality is intertwined with the broader class struggle, urging the audience to recognize their shared interests and work collectively for a future free from oppression. He concludes by encouraging the formation of an independent, militant labor movement that includes all workers, regardless of race, to effect real change within society.
