Support KPFK and pick up the book at www.kpfk.org When Mexico moved to abolish slavery, Texas seceded in 1836-in a replay of 1776-- in order to perpetuate enslavement of Africans forevermore. Until 1845 Texas was an independent nation and moved to challenge the U.S. for leadership in the odious commerce of the African Slave Trade: Texas also competed vigorously with the U.S. in the dirty business, dispossessing Indigenous peoples and nations of their lands and denuding Mexico by snatching California in the race to the Pacific and domination of the vaunted China market. But Texas could not withstand pressure from abolitionist Mexico and revolutionary Haiti and joined the U.S. as a state-under questionable legal procedures-in 1845. Thereafter Texas' enslaved population increased exponentially along with land grabs targeting Comanches, Caddo and Kiowa-and other Indigenous nations-leading to staggeringly violent bloodshed. Black troops helped to foil this deviltry but, alas, during the Reconstruction era-1865-1876-these same soldiers were at the tip of the spear as Indigenes were being pounded in West Texas as Black people were being pounded by the Ku Klux Klan in East Texas. Texans were also in the vanguard during the scandalous 6 January 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill and promises to be in the forefront as a unique U.S. fascism seeks to rise. Join us today on American Indian Airwaves to hear Dr. Gerald Horne highlight important excerpts from his book, The Counter Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S Fascism, and how it relates to the international geopolitical forms of settler colonial violence impacting Indigenous peoples, African Americans, and more and the formation and roots of American fascism, plus more. Guest: Dr. Gerald Horne is an eminent historian who is Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. An author of more than thirty books and one hundred scholarly articles and reviews, his research has addressed issues of racism in a variety of relations involving labor, politics, civil rights, international relations, war and the film industry.
