On May 25-26, the Congressional Black Caucus held a conference at Howard University on U.S. policy in Africa and the Caribbean. The First Pan-African Congress (PAC) was convened in 1919 at the time of the Paris Peace Conference at the end of World War I. Fifth PAC, in Manchester, England in 1945, featured a Declaration to the Colonial Peoples by Kwame Nkrumah. The struggle led by the Party of Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) has been going on for nine years and has resulted in the liberation of two-thirds of the country's territory. The newsletter mourns the deaths of 468 miners in the coal mine owned by the Anglo-American Corporation of South Africa in Wankie, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).
