CAP was founded in 1970. CAP's activities illustrate the fluidity and changing nature of black radicalism in this period.
In 1974, CAP became the Revolutionary Communist League (Marxist-Leninist-Mao Tse-tung Thought), led by Amiri Baraka. In 1980, the RCL merged into the League of Revolutionary Struggle (Marxist-Leninist). When this group split, some former CAP members joined the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.
