Stanley Levison, MLK, and the Red Salute

a mini-thread

Stanley Levison was Treasurer for the Communist Party of America. He aided in legal defense of Julius & Ethel Rosenberg.

He was also MLK’s speech writer.

Abel Meeropol (Communist Party of America) adopted the Rosenberg’s kids.

He also ghostwrote hit “black” songs. https://weseeyoudawg.com/#55th

hmm, how and why did the “red salute” get rebranded as the “black power” fist so quickly?

I wonder who did that…🤔

Also, how did it get memory-holed that Americans used to do the Roman salute/Bellamy Salute during the Pledge of Allegiance?

🤔🤔🤔
