Memorandum to the TransAfrica and TransAfrica Forum Board of Directors about the opening of its new offices at 545 Eighth Street, SE, Washington, DC. The Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York have made respectively grants of $75,000 and $25,000 to the Forum, thus allowing it to begin operations with a senior research fellow, a junior research fellow, an administrator, and a secretary. The Forum will also organize annual conferences pulling together African, Caribbean, and African American leaders to discuss common concerns.
