Maude White Katz dating history

Details

Maude White Katz (1908–1985) was a communist activist for the Communist Party USA and wrote about Black women in America. Katz's work helped the party gain insights into the Black working class and their labor conditions. Katz was a worker from a working-class family, and the CPUSA assigned her to several unions during her time with the party. Her input and organizational skills were instrumental to the Party's ability to reach out and organize for the Black working class. Her critiques of the Party gave rise to internal campaigns against white chauvinism. Her party organizing spanned many years over several states and included union organizing and demonstrations. Party leaders saw Katz as a leader in organizing early on, and she was selected by the party to go to the USSR for three years at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East.
