African Activist Archive

The report says upon the disbanding of the Africa Research Group (A.R.G.), that organization's files and library were turned over to us with the understanding that some of our work would be a continuation of former efforts by the A.R.G. The report says we plan to prepare, catalog and distribute information on African liberation movements and on the struggle to achieve economic independence, by the people in those parts of Africa which are recognized as independent political states; in addition, we plan to provide the people of Africa with information on various struggles being waged by Third World peoples in the Western Hemisphere; our primary responsibility is to distribute this information in such a way as to assist in the growth and development of a broadly based anti-imperialist movement within the United States; Africa will be our focal point, but we recognize that the African struggles do not exist in isolation. The report says we see ourselves as custodians of the materials and resources which have been placed at our disposal; accordingly, we intend to make all of these materials available to concerned individuals and organizations. The report says we expect to establish firm working relations which will make our distribution both extensive and effective; members of the A.I.S. are now cataloging various materials and within the next few months we will advise you of specific projects that we will be undertaking. The report discusses research, publications, communications, published materials, special projects, films, photographs, the liberation struggle, and a larger movement by Third World peoples.
