The U.S. Department of State released “Cuba: the Capital of 21st Century Communism,” which justifies the genocidal siege against that country and attempts to criminalize leftist organizing. This document was preceded by the National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), which provides a rationale for state repression. How do these actions impact Black people, and what is the history of these scares that are used against Black people? Dr. Charisse Burden Stelly is the author of “Black Scare/ Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States,” which was published in 2023.  She will also discuss her recently completed project, “This Is America,” which appeared on Instagram.
