Summary
In the fall of 1931, a nineteen-year-old African American named Angelo Herndon went to Atlanta to serve as an organizer for the Communist Party. Even at that young age, Angelo was already experienced in hard labor and in leftist politics. Five years earlier, he had left home to work in the mines of Kentucky and for the railroad in Alabama. He became an enthusiastic convert to Communism and his activities led to a few legal skirmishes with Alabama authorities.
