{"value"=>"<p>Writing by Haywood includes articles and essays, speeches, and Haywood's autobiography, <span class=\"title\">Black Bolshevik: Autobiography of an Afro-American Communist</span>. Articles and essays contain manuscripts and typescripts of articles, both published and unpublished, and two interview drafts. It contains a partial manuscript from Haywood's first book, <span class=\"title\">Negro Liberation</span> (1948); his introduction for <span class=\"title\">A House Divided: Labor and White Supremacy</span> by Roxanne Mitchell and Frank Weiss (United Labor Press, New York, 1981); and a draft of his <span class=\"title\">For a Revolutionary Position on the Negro Question</span> (1958, published 1975). In a June 1950 interview, Haywood and Gabriel d'Arboussier, secretary-general of Rassemblement Democratique Africain, discuss the similarities and differences between the struggles of Africans and Blacks in the United States. A discussion between Haywood and Jesse Gray covers the National Maritime Union during the 1940s. Speeches consist of outlines, drafts, and handwritten notes for 15 speeches from the 1970s through the early 1980s, for a 1975 national Fight Back Conference (typed on the back of Fight Back flyers); the founding congress of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist); the publication of <span class=\"title\">Black Bolshevik</span>; and the commemoration of the Sharpeville Massacre (1980). Many contain accounts of the history of the CPUSA and Haywood's involvement with the Party (78th Birthday, 1976) and the development of the Black liberation movement (Binghamton 1976, and Atlanta 1978).</p> <p>The manuscript for <span class=\"title\">Black Bolshevik: Autobiography of an Afro-American Communist</span> (Chicago: Liberator Press, 1978) consists of 22 chapters, an introduction, and an epilogue. The manuscript's reverse chronological organization has been retained. Part of the original manuscript for many chapters (starting with chapter 5) became the next corresponding chapter; hence the typed chapter headings on most chapters are incorrect according to the published version. It is generally not possible to determine the original, first, second, or final drafts.</p> <p>Writing by others consists of published (articles and book chapters) and unpublished material (dissertations and other academic papers) by other authors and/or organizations. This material is arranged alphabetically by author or title.</p>"}
