Cover letter and brochure advertise and seek funding for an African Liberation Day (ALD) symposium at Howard University on May 17. The A-A.P.R.P. has never before asked for financial help outside of its membership and small network of steadfast supporters. When the Party was formed in 1972, the African revolution was wracked by ideological and organizational confusion, and FBI and CIA attacks on our organizations and leaders in the late 1960's and early 1970's created a political and organizational vacuum that has yet to be filled. Accomplishments since then include: • Laying the foundation for developing an independent, mass, revolutionary, Pan-African political party with a revolutionary African ideology (Nkrumaism); • Distributed millions of leaflets and organized thousands of programs and hundreds of work-study circles to institutionalize the political education of our people everywhere; • Struggle to build coalitions to: SMASH THE FBI - CIA and Industrial Police Intelligence Complex and the Military Industrial Complex, SMASH THE U.S. NUCLEAR ARMS BUILD-UP, and SMASH ZIONISM and in Support of the PLO; • Struggle to build an African United Front. The mailing mentions Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana, class struggle, decolonization, Martin Luther King, Jr., liberation movements, the Organization of African Unity (OAU), Malcolm X, Sister M'balia, Patrice Lumumba, and Black Power.
