William Worthy
William Worthy, the pioneering Black journalist who was indicted for traveling to and reporting from Cuba in 1961, died May 4 at age 92.

Worthy’s case drew worldwide attention and was covered by the Militant. An appellate court eventually overturned his conviction.

During his career he defied travel bans to report from Beijing, Moscow and other locales frowned upon by federal authorities.

Worthy was a strong supporter of the civil rights movement and Malcolm X.

Sign me up for a subscription
I like the Militant paper that my comrade shared with me. Please sign me up for a subscription for an indigent prisoner. I can’t pay for it now. But I’ll contribute what I can when I can.

‘Militant’ is useful, inspiring
I have been getting the Militant newspaper, and on time, most times. Thank you!

Since I’m interested in journalism, I find the topics featured very useful to broaden my knowledge of underground struggles, or events that go unheard of in mainstream media. I have many a time shared the newspaper with colleagues, friends and mentors, and they’ve always reacted positively; the initiative is inspiring, and the execution is even better.
