Point of Production No.2 July 1972
Official Voice of the Black Workers Congress
The Point of Production carries articles on labor. The cover image celebrates women resistance fighters of North Vietnam, possibly the North Vietnamese Army (NVA)[1]. The Black Workers Congress wrote of a black worker delegation to Vietnam in Siege : The Voice of the Black Workers, Vol. 1, No. 1 1971
Noted as the “Official Voice” for the Black Workers Congress. In 1970, the Black Workers Congress (BWC) was established by the Detroit-focused ‘League of Revolutionary Union Workers‘ (LRBW) to organize workers on a national level. The details for the Congress are outlined in the Black Workers Congress Manifesto.[2]
