Description

Welcome to the Green and Red M19 Podcast!

In this very special episode, we celebrate the shared birthday of iconic revolutionaries Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X, both born on May 19th (1890 and 1925, respectively).

Join Scott and Bob as we go deep on two of the most important revolutionaries of the 20th century---their ideas, their organizations, their international leadership in the class and anti-imperial struggles, and the inspiration they gave to so many millions.

Plus a little Last Poets love for Ho Chi Minh:

I'm gettin' on out of here
You see, I just could not win
Against Ho Chi Minh
No, I just could not win
Against Ho Chi Minh

Further reading: William Duiker's books Ho Chi Minh: A Life and Sacred War, The Autobiography of Malcolm X,  Peniel Joseph's The Sword and the Shield, and James Cones' Martin and Malcolm and America.
