The co-founder of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, Patrisse Cullors, was the protรฉgรฉ of a communist-supporting domestic terrorist for over a decade, spending years training in political organizing and absorbing the radical Marxist-Leninist ideology which shaped her worldview.

Eric Mann, who mentored Cullors for over a decade in community organizing, was a member of radical-left militant groups: Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground, which bombed government buildings and police stations in the 1960s and 1970s.

In a newly resurfaced video from 2015, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors reveals that she and her fellow BLM founders are โ€œtrained Marxists.โ€

In the video, Cullors is interviewed by Jared Ball of the Real News Network and discusses the direction of the BLM movement.

โ€œThe first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,โ€ she said. โ€œWe are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk.โ€

In previous interviews in 2018, while promoting her then-new book titled, โ€œWhen They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir,โ€ Cullors describes her introduction to and affinity for Marxist ideology.

In an interview with Democracy Now!, Cullors describes how she became a trained organizer with the Labor/Community Strategy Center, calling it her โ€œfirst political homeโ€ and the centerโ€™s director, Eric Mann, her personal mentor.

She told The Politic that it was there that she was trained from her youth and grew as a leader.

The Labor/Community Strategy Center describes itโ€™s philosophy as โ€œan urban experiment,โ€ utilizing grassroots organizing to โ€œfocus on Black and Latino communities with deep historical ties to the long history of anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, pro-communist resistance to the U.S. empire.โ€

The center teaches and studies the history of the โ€œIndigenous rebellions against the initial European genocidal invasions,โ€ the โ€œGreat Slave Haitian Revolution of the 1790s,โ€ and the โ€œGreat Slave Rebellions that won the U.S. civil war for the racist north.โ€

The center also expresses its appreciation for the work of the U.S. Communist Party, โ€œespecially Black communists,โ€ as well as its support for โ€œthe great work of the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, Young Lords, Brown Berets, and the great revolutionary rainbow experiments of the 1970s,โ€ while flaunting its roots in the new communist movement.

Speaking with ACLUโ€™s At Liberty weekly podcast, Cullors described the center as her โ€œfoundation,โ€ claiming it was there that she developed the skills which helped her found the Black Lives Matter movement, after having been recruited by its director, Eric Mann.
