Happy Birthday CLR James! A pioneer of the Black Marxist tradition. Born in Trinidad, he'd go on to author one of the most important texts on the history of the Haitian Revolution, "Black Jacobins", as well as applying his Marxist approach to analyzing his favourite sport, Cricket.
His critical Marxism often put him in conflict with other parts of the left, but his intellectual contributions to the Pan-African movement and the socialist tradition as a whole are undisputed.
