This book had its origins in a chance encounter on a mid-Manhattan street in the late summer of 1993.I had just left the offices of the radio station WBAI when I bumped into David Du Bois, whom I had known as a result of my earlier research on the life of W. E. B. Du Bois

There are so many people I would like to thank.Writing a book on black women and the U.S. Communist Party has been a challenging exerciseand at times an intellectually humbling and emotionally painful one.When I started this project more than a decade ago, there were few books and archival collections related to black women radicals.Plus, there were only a handful of articles on this topic.Today, things have changed.This book joins a growing body of exciting scholarship on black women's radicalism.Without question, the most exciting aspect of this project has been getting to know my subjects, in particular Dorothy Burnham, Esther Cooper Jackson, and her late husband, James E. Jackson Jr
