The Struggle of Afrikans in the US to regain their independence has always
been characterized by two major trends. One trend has struggled against
racial discrimination and for equal participation in US society, accepting
capitalist hegemony. The other trend has struggled against their national
oppression by the US and to establish an independent, socialist state. 

The existence of these trends is a matter of historical record. Despite
the efforts of the US to suppress the Struggle for Afrikan independence,
the movement has a strong contemporary expression among all sects of the
Afrikan population, especially among Afrikan youth. A recent study
conducted among Afrikan college students by Professor Luke Tripp showed
that 34 percent of the students favored an independent Afrikan state. 

CROSSROAD (CR) is devoted to New Afrikan Political Prisoners and Prisoners
of War. CR also covers theoretical issues and daily struggles in Afrikan
communities. For its daily operation, as well as its goal of continued
growth and improvement, CR depends on the help of its supports and
subscribers. ($5/6 issues, $15/organizations, $25 International)
