The Sojourner Truth Organization, according to historian Michael Staudenmaier, was an American "revolutionary group based largely in Chicago during the 1970's and 1980's. STO, as it is commonly known, created a small but vibrant political tendency around the concepts of challenging dual consciousness, opposing white supremacy, supporting extra-union organizing in factory settings, defending anti-imperialist and national liberation struggles, and building an internal culture of intellectual rigor and sophistication." This issue includes articles by Jasper Collins, Carole Travis, Kassahun Checole, Don Hamerquist, Elaine Zeskind, Noel Ignatin, and others. From a private collection (NOT ex-library).
