criticism of currents in the Negro movement, as well as
to raise the level of understanding and discussion taking
place in Negro life today and to project a socialist and
pro-Soviet orientation.

as advised that on October 25-27, 1953,s conference o 'mcmbers of the Comunist Party OP!, including
national functionaries, met in Chicago, Illinois, for the
purpose of Betting in motion forces for the establishment of
a new national Marxist-oriented youth organization which would
hunt for the most peaceful transition to socialism. Thedelegates to this meeting were cautioned against the genm of E!
anti-Soviet and anti-CP ideologies. These delegates were
also told that it would be reasonable to assume that the
young socialists attracted into this new organization would
eventually pass into the CP itself.
A second conference of over 20 persons met in
Chicago on December 28-29, 1963, for the purpose of initiatinga "call" to the new youth organization and Blanning for a
founding convention to be held in June, 196 .
s advised that the founding
conventi e new youth organization was held from
June l9-21, 196k, at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco,
California, at which time the name W.E.B, DuB0is Clubs of
America DCA! was adopted. Approximately 500 delegates from
throughout the United States attended this convention. The
aims of this organization, as set forth in the preamble to the
constitution, are, "It is our belief that this nation can best
solve its problems in an atmosphere of peaceful coexistence,
complete disarmament and true freedom for all peoples of the
world, and that these solutions will be reached mainly through
the united efforts of all democratic elements in our country,
composed essentially of the working people allied in the unity
of Negroes and other minorities with whites. we further
fully recognize that the greatest threat to American democracy
comes from the racist and right wing forces in coalition with
the most reactionary sections of the economic power structure,
using the tool of anti-Communism to divide and destroy the
unified struggle of the working people. as young people in
the forces struggling for democracy, we shall actively strive
to defeat these reactionary and neo-fascist elements and to
achieve complete freedom and democracy for all Americans,
thus enabling each individual to freely choose and build
the society he would wish to live in. Through these struggles
we feel the American people will realize the vi lityipf thesocialist alternative." I-...~'-ri-5;in " I 192
