Long active in political life, Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone have been involved in international resistance to imperialism and the workers' movement in the United States. Ralph Ralph Schoenman was Secretary General of the International Tribunal on U.S. War Crimes in Indochina. He spent seven months in Bolivia in 1967 and was imprisoned there after the death of Che Guevara. He worked with Malcolm X with respect to the battle for the Congo and in the anti-imperialist struggle in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. He negotiated the release of political prisoners in many countries. He and Mya Shone were directors of the Committee in Defense of the Lebanese and Palestinian Peoples during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, of the Palestine Campaign, which at the time of the first Intifada called for an end to all aid to apartheid Israel and for a democratic secular Palestine, and of Workers and Artists for "Solidarity" (that is, Solidarnarsc, the Polish Workers' movement) and were the North American organizers of the International Conference Against Repression in Haiti which took place in Port-au-Prince during the oppressive Raoul Cedras regime.

Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. His books include The Hidden History of Zionism, Iraq and Kuwait: A History Suppressed and Death and Pillage in the Congo: A Study of Western Rule which he co-authored with Khalid Ahmed Zaki, as well as, Prisoners of Israel and Homage to Palestine which he co-authored with Mya Shone.
