The first piece "Racial and Political Repression: US Style," discusses how the United States government and politics continue to repress Black citizens in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement. The next article, "May Day: Commemoration of Labor's Struggle," outlines some labor history in the United States, specifically a strike known as May Day. "The Falkland Islands- A Great Deal at Stake," discusses the British capture of South Georges Island near Argentina, the author works to convince readers that the United States expressed concern about the Falkland Islands does not come from a place of humanitarian concern, but from self-interest.

Praxis is a simply designed publication featuring type-writer text, some cartoons, and a border. This publication is edited by L.A.
