        Description                
 
                                - 
                                A journal article originally published in The Black Scholar in 1972. In the article, former Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver writes about Black liberation and the lumpenproletariat. Marx and Engels identified the lumpen as the underclass devoid of class consciousness. Cleaver, however, argues that the class can be organized and used in the movement.
