'' I have lost my sight, but not my vision." -Henry Winston For nearly fifty years, Henry Winston was a major leader in the Communist Party USA, including twenty years as Chairman of the Party's National Committee. Lovingly known as "Winnie," he stood as a pillar of bravery and fortitude even after losing his sight while incarcerated following the Foley Square Trial on trumped-up charges of violating the Smith Act by encouraging the overthrow of the American government. This biography, authored in the USSR where Winston often sought refuge and medical treatment, is a loving tribute to a major Black Marxist leader in American history.
