Georgakas responds to the book review of Finally Got the News in a previous issue of the journal. He was disheartened that pertinent political and artistic seeds that directly fed that period have been neglected.

Abstract:

Excerpts:

I was puzzled by aspects of your account of a new book titled Finally Got the News in ATC 193. Although the book’s focus is on printed matter and images of the 1970s, I am troubled that neither the interviewer nor the interviewee spoke of the famed film of the same name (released in 1970) that celebrated the views of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.

I believe the slogan "Finally Got the News How Your Dues Are Being Used" which is featured in the film was originated by General Baker, a leader of the League. The film is currently available as a DVD issued by Icarus films.
