		Aptheker has been both the basis of and inspiration to generations of Black scholars looking for a history that is more than simple chronological facts but the beginning of cultural healing and the restoration of stolen humanity.
		Aptheker cherished his personal relationship with the greatest of scholars W.E.B. DuBois and was even there to drive his mentor to the airport the day DuBois left this country for good to live out the rest of his life in Ghana.
		Aptheker is as much a reminder as any that all groups of people are represented by their respective sellouts and cowards making it more difficult for the rest of us to make the necessary bonds that would lead to the immediate removal of those very sellouts and cowards.

	Theology Today - Vol 29, No. 2 - July 1972 - BOOK REVIEW - The Urgency of Marxist-Christian Dialogue
		He does not fail to point out that both Turner and Brown were Christians, motivated profoundly by their faith, but throughout the book none of the profound experience of re-thinking the Marxist tradition, which has been at the basis of the Christian-Marxist dialogue in Europe in recent years, is to be found.
		Aptheker will not admit Marxism needs any completion, any correction of any sort, even though he admits that many Marxists have been unfaithful and some have even been criminal.
		Second, Aptheker has identified the basic issue between Marxists and Christians, the question of the capacities of man. He is quite clear that for Marxists any limitation on belief in the power of man to emancipate himself from social oppression, to organize nature and society to achieve his boundless self-development, is intolerable.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Herbert Aptheker: NY Times Hero, Stalinist Hack by Ronald Radosh
		Herbert Aptheker was the leading intellectual defender of Stalinism in the American Communist movement.
		Aptheker wrote a book, The Truth About Hungary, which was a blatant use of the trappings of historical writing to prove that the Soviet invasion was a progressive coup.
		Aptheker charged Washington with "blocking democratization," the renewal of anti-Semitism and the creation of a German nation "as thoroughly militarized as ever Germany was under Hitler." The only truth Americans had to understand was a simple one: The Soviet bloc alone stands for "socialismnational liberationequality and peace."

		The telling error: he describes Aptheker's trip to Hanoi as "a trip to promote solidarity between the Communist aggressors and the then emerging American peace movement." But WE were the aggressors in Vietnam.
		The important error: he describes Aptheker's Ph.D. dissertation as "his only actual writing that can remotely be called scholarly." As someone who has worked in the field of race relations for 30 years, I can state this is ridiculous.
		While not perfect, Aptheker's essays on such topics as Charles Caldwell, peonage, and yes, slave revolts were far ahead of their time, an indication also that Aptheker was correct to note the lingering pall of Nadir scholarship over this subfield of the history profession.

		Aptheker should not overlook Peter Kolchin's book, which says of his 250 "revolts and conspiracies" that "most of them were minor incidents of unrest that were quickly put down with a minimum of local force or were nipped in the bud before they occurred.
		In fact, in the Okihiro volume of 1986 he writes that he and other critics "have criticized Aptheker for exaggerating or for overestimating the incidence of noteworthy insurrections in contradistinction to violent local disturbances." He adds, "I continue to think that tempered criticism is in order," in spite of some that has not been tempered.

		Lippmann Loses Faith." In this case the Lippmann shift was attributed to the "snapping of his patience" after years of "throwing the pearls of his expertise before the swine of a vast syndicated readership" (New Statesman and Nation, June 11, 1955).
		The fact is, at any rate, he insisted, that "there is no possibility that men can understand the whole process of social existence." Forgetting "the limitations of men" has been our central error.
		That Lippmann believes in the incapacity of the mass and the heretical nature of the movement to make democracy fully meaningful does not mean that he doses his eyes to the urgent reality of that movement.
