For A Revolutionary Position on the Negro Question was initially published and distributed in 1958 for the 16th Convention of the CPUSA. For the anti-revisionist position outlined here, its author Harry Haywood was kicked out of the CPUSA. Harry Haywood was a long-time member of the Communist Party and former delegate to the Third International (Comintern). As a delegate, he was one of the architects behind the 1928 and 1930 resolutions recognizing Black people in the United States as an oppressed nation, and the Black struggle as a national liberation struggle. This position led to massive gains for the CPUSA in The South during the interwar period, which was quickly lost after the dissolution of the Comintern in 1943 and the abandonment of this line by the CPUSA. The CPUSA continues to reject this thesis today.
