A couple of days ago, Mother Davis wrote an analysis of the ridiculous attempt to smear Barack Obama as a Communist through his connection with poet Frank Marshall Davis. Her article provoked me to try to find out more about Frank Marshall Davis, but I found that I had to wade through a whole bunch of garbage written by right wing activists trying to smear Obama in order to find useful information.
To help others who are seeking a more rational understanding of who Frank Marshall Davis is, I have put together a brief collection of resources on his life and work – free of the distortion of Republican attacks. No hype.
