South African Apartheid and its Affect on Black Culture (Spencer Weigand)
In many ways, the Vietnam War encapsulated the titanic struggle between the east and the west in the Mid 20th century. Further more, this war was not only the epitome of the idealogical diffences between that of communism and capitalism but the diffeence in the numerous communities in the United States. One such comunity was that of Black Americans. In his work Black Is a Country Nikhil Pal Singh "What distinguished the black versions of popular front politics, however, was that they also reflected a far less compromising, and more broadly informed, commitment to struggles for radical justice at home and abroad within the black public sphere". Not only did countless black leaders, including Dr. Martin Luether King Jr., speak out against the war itself, but the comunity as a whoole never lost site of the gloable picture. However, as historian Jill Lepore puts it: "while the rest of the country was focoused on the issue of the viettnam war, the black comunity never lost site of its international struggle for freedom, a prime example of this being found in South Aferican Apartheid.
