American Communist History will be the impartial, leading journal for scholarship about the history of the Communist Party in the United States and its social, political, economic and cultural impact on its members, on its opponents, and the public at large. The journal will deal with the American party and with the various outside influences which have dealt with its representation, with the controversial folklore that has been engendered about it, and with the many differing views about its antecedents, and its diverse opponents on the Left and Right.
The Archivo de Historia del Trabajo (AHT), Fundación 1º de Mayo, organized a virtual exhibition of posters published by the Comisiones Obreras on the occasion of March 8, international women's day.
