‘Without struggle, there can be no progress’

The International Action Center outreach table at the African-American History Month celebration at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Calif., on Feb. 12 provoked much interest and discussion among student, faculty and community attendees. People were attracted by the IAC banner, which included Frederick Douglass’ profound observation, “Without a struggle, there can be no progress.” And Egypt was on everyone’s mind. Among the IAC literature on display, Fred Goldstein’s book, “Low-Wage Capitalism,” attracted a lot of interest. Many copies of Workers World newspaper were distributed.
