This is the first and only full account of this group I've come across. Several historians mention the United Socialists in passing or as a footnote (Philip S. Foner) and I once looked for more but primarily only found bits and pieces in newspaper accounts, as you mention.

Very grateful for this piece, as it fills a big gap regarding a largely ( never completely) forgotten history. Cheers!

So happy I came across this. As a Black squatter in London, learning the history of squatting from the perspective of Black people has been so important to me.

Very interesting. We don’t get anywhere near a complete outline of history through school/culture. Have to really dig and piece things together, constantly rethink.
