Lola Belle Holmes at the 1968 Wanderer Forum: Communism is to Blame For Racism
In 1968, Lola Belle Holmes, former undercover FBI agent, spoke at the Wanderer Forum, discussing the Communist Party’s manipulations, particularly towards the Black community and civil rights. Holmes believed Communism fueled racial discord and civil unrest. Her experiences in Chicago’s civil rights movement informed her insights on advancement through seizing opportunities, not street demonstrations. Comparisons are made to contemporary events, suggesting historical parallels with her 1960s observations. The talk’s upcoming release underscores the continued relevance of her message against Communism.
