Reparations developments in California
Guardian "San Francisco lawmakers heard a range of options on Tuesday to provide reparations to Black people for decades of racist treatment by the city government. The more than 100 recommendations included payments of $5m to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family. The San Francisco board of supervisors hearing the report for the first time yesterday expressed enthusiastic support for the ideas, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing. Black residents make up 38% of the city's homeless population."

12/23/2022 … New Philadelphia is now part of the National Park Service ^
Congress just acted and sent the legislation to Biden to sign next week!
This honors my great great grand parents who founded the town.
New Philadelphia, Illinois, is now a unit of the National Park
Service -- like the Grand Canyon and the Abraham Lincoln
Home and so many other places! The implementation will take about
three years.
Thank you for all your support as we worked towards this goal.
This recognition is a contribution to the grand narrative of Black
history and to our nation's march toward freedom. It is a tribute
to the legacy of Free Frank and Free Lucy McWorter and their
family and community, and all who kept and enriched the memory:
local activists and community members, descendants, archeologists
and historians, elected officials and many more.
The legislation that just passed will be posted on the New
Philadelphia website: http://newphiladelphiail.org/
Thank you again, and stay tuned for the next phase of New
Philadelphia.

08/08/2022 … The African Diaspora : Liverpool, UK ^
New schedule - Abdulslist every two weeks
Liverpool as the African Diaspora
"With its history as a port city, it is no surprise that
Liverpool has a diverse population from around the world. It is
home to the oldest Black African community in the United Kingdom, which dates to at least 1730. Some Black
Liverpudlians can trace back their lineage in the city ten
generations. Many early black settlers in the city were seamen,
children of traders, and freed slaves, as any slaves who entered
the country after 1722 were considered free men."
2009: Black or Black British: 1.9% (1.1% Black African, 0.5% Black
Caribbean, 0.3% other black)

01/03/2022 … WHAT IS OUR MOVEMENT SAYING ABOUT BLACK WOMEN ^
WHAT IS OUR MOVEMENT SAYING ABOUT BLACK WOMEN?
There is way more agreement than disagreement!
Brothers, time to transform our practice!
Sisters, take the lead!
1. Draft Freedom Manifesto Women. Patriarchy arose before capitalism. But capitalism and its imperialist expansion for control of labor markets, raw materials, and land systematized male supremacy in new ways. It did the same with racism. This meant European white male dominance over women, other peoples and cultures. The Black Liberation movement must overcome and correct the internalized male chauvinism in our history and advance the leadership of women at all levels of the Black Freedom struggle, in our communities, churches, unions, and promote equality in our homes. The struggle against patriarchy, male supremacy, and sexism is key to rebuilding the black freedom struggle and the unity of our people as a whole. Although women lead this struggle, everyone must take it up and support it. Gender equality! Mobilize women, and facilitate the leadership of women on all battle fronts!
2. Black Lives Matter We are committed to building a Black women affirming space free from sexism, misogyny, and malecenteredness.
3. Black Workers for Justice We stand against the exploitation of all workers. For workers control of wealth from their labor, and fighting democratic unions of rank and file workers. Against racism, white supremacy, sexism, male supremacy. For democratic rights and equality of all races, nationalities, and sexes.
4. Black is Back Coalition Black Women. With this National Black Political Agenda for Self‐Determination, the entire black or African nation declares our commitment to facilitate the elevation of African women to full, equal partnership in our struggle to create a new world of freedom and socialist democracy for a united black community and a world shorn forever of bosses and workers and slaves and masters and where African women will share the power to guarantee that African women are adequately empowered as equal architects of our new world.
5. Black Youth Project 100 BYP100 works through a Black queer feminist lens ‐‐meaning that we are radically inclusive and strive to move those of us who are marginalized (e.g. Black women, girls and LGBTQ folks) to the center. Thus, the Agenda is meant for young people who want to approach civil rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, and women’s rights work differently. Further, the Agenda is not meant to advance politics of respectability ‐‐ we want ALL Black people to be able to live in their dignity.
6. The Movement for Black Lives For Black girls, the U.S.’s failure to address gender‐based violence, which they experience at greater levels than any other group, is paramount to the criminalization they experience. In fact, sexual abuse is one of the primary predictors of girls’ entry into the juvenile justice system, with girls often being routed to the system specifically because of their victimization. For instance, girls who are victims of sex trafficking are often arrested on prostitution charges. The punitive nature of this system is ill‐equipped to support young girls through the violence and trauma they’ve experienced, which further subjects them to sexual victimization and a lifelong path of criminalization and abuse.
7. Left Roots Feminist and pro‐queer politics and practice are central to Left Roots. We believe that liberation from hetero‐patriarchy must be central to any revolutionary Left strategy. Women and trans folks’ place is in the struggle and we prioritize their leadership in social movements.
8. Malcolm X Grassroots Movement [New Afrikan Womens Caucus (NAWC)] A committee within MXGM which opposes any form of oppression that limits girls and women from becoming self‐determining individuals and reaching their fullest potential. As a manifestation of our sixth principle of unity (ending sexist oppression), NAWC recognizes that cultural, economic, political and social institutions, practices and beliefs limit the human worth of our girls and women. We NAWC will actively struggle for the liberation of the New Afrikan Nation –By Any Means Necessary!
9. Organization of Afro‐American Unity The Organization of Afro‐American Unity will take those private steps that are necessary to insure the survival of the Afro‐American people in the face of racist aggression and the defense of our women and children
10. Dream Defenders We believe that our liberation necessitates the destruction of the political and economic systems of Capitalism and Imperialism as well as Patriarchy.
11. People Organized for Progress To work for the total elimination of racism and sexism.
12. Organization for Black Struggle We will fight for gender equality, for women’s liberation, and for women’s rights to be recognized as human rights in all areas of personal, social, economic and political life.
13. All African People’s Revolutionary Party The All‐African People’s Revolutionary Party understands that the liberation of African people cannot come to reality without the effective and genuine liberation of African Women. The A‐APRP also understands that African Women cannot fight a liberation struggle separate from the broader liberation struggle of African People. The two go hand in hand. The manifestation of this understanding in practical terms gave birth to the All‐African Women’s Revolutionary Union in 1980. The AAWRU is responsible for insuring that all vestiges of sexism are rooted out of our party (and the larger society), that women and men are educated about the revolutionary role of women in the African Revolution and to insure that the voice, interests and energies of African women are completely integrated into every aspect of our work to build the AAPRP and a free African Nation. All women who join the AAPRP are automatically members of the AAWRU.
14. Chicago Anti‐Eviction Campaign We are assisting our human rights partners in a global campaign to bring awareness and reduce gender inequalities along with 40 member states of the United Nations.
15. Coalition of Black Trade Unionists The CBTU National Women's Committee conducts conferences and workshops that focus on the needs of African American women in the trade union movement. The committee's major event is sponsoring the National Women's Conference, which is held annually in conjunction with CBTU's national convention. The CBTU Women's Conference is an uplifting, healing and empowering experience. What began as one workshop in 1982 has now grown to an all‐day women's conference, attended by more than 1,000 participants ‐ women and men, black and white, from all backgrounds. The popularity of the women's conference has made it an integral part of the national CBTU convention. The conference features a health fair for women, a book fair, diverse workshops, dynamic speakers and down‐to‐earth sisterhood. Major topics addressed include education, politics, leadership development, youth and the criminal justice system, and health ‐ particularly the importance of raising the awareness of black women about serious diseases and the importance of regular check‐ups.
16. Ujima Political Party From Harriet Tubman to Sojourner Truth; from Rosa Parks to Jo‐Ann Robinson; from Fannie Lou Hamer to Assata Shakur and so many others…. There has never been a time when Black Women were not at the forefront of the struggle for civil rights and human dignity, in order to expose racist conditions and elevate the consciousness in our communities. Moving forward, the modern civil and black rights movements have helped to open the door for today’s women’s rights movement and its continuing struggle for change. Therefore, UPP puts forth the following: We support, uphold and defend a woman’s right to choose, which means r moving all restrictions on access to abortion. Provide equal pay for equal work. Uphold and support the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Fight to add the Equal Rights Amendment in the U.S. Constitution.
17. 8TH Pan‐African Congress (Accra, 2014)
Resolution No. 3: Concerning Strengthening Global Solidarity and Voice of The Pan African Women’s Movement
In light of the theme of the 8th Pan African Congress and building on the resolutions of the 7th Pan African Congress in 1994, the commission on strengthening global solidarity and voice of pan African women’s Movement. Recognizing and appreciating the inherent linkages, inseparability and complementarity between the struggle for women’s emancipation and gender justice and the struggle for Africa’s liberation and development.
We resolve to;
1. Commit to addressing structural barriers that keep half of the pan-African constituency subjugated and unable to access freedom, justice and dignity
2. Commit to the documentation and preservation of women who have made immense contributions to the Pan-African movement and commit to ensuring they form part and parcel of the collective memory and public imagery of dominant/mainstream narratives of pan Africanism.
3. Call to memory and demand the immediate release and rescue of the over 200 girls who were abducted in Chibok, Nigeria close to a year ago and still remain abductees, and to ensure provision of socio-psycho and material support upon their return
4. Stand in solidarity with and call for the immediate freedom for women and girls and the peoples of Sahrawi Democratic Republic (Western Sahara) from colonization and patriarchy
5. Call for universal and immediate ratification and implementation of existing gender responsive instruments (Maputo Protocol, Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality Agenda, CEDAW, Beijing+20, 1325, 1820) as well as ensuring accountability for non-compliance as a way to further ideals of pan-Africanism
6. Commit to strengthen healthcare systems and volunteerism to prevent and effectively respond to crises such as Ebola
7. Recognizing that we cannot afford to sustain practices that are harmful to the dignity, respect and freedom of women and girls, including FGM, child/early/forced marriage, widow inheritance, breast ironing and thus contrary to ideals of pan-Africanism, we call for their immediate abolishment
8. Push for equal access to, control over and ownership of Africa’s resources (between men and women) – ensure progressive land policies and secure access to land rights for African women
9. Address all forms of violence against women and girls, the radicalization of violence and sexism in both private and public spheres, religious fundamentalisms and extremism that threatens progress and freedom
10. Address illicit financial flows, ensure tax justice – progressive taxation, remove VAT on essential products and direct these as well as other funds to finance the African women’s movement as a means to further the cause of pan-Africanism
11. Effect a policy on IDPs and their treatment and their human right to dignity
12. Ensure inter-generational mentoring, exchange and learning takes place; that young women will have a place in discussions, deliberations and decision-making spaces
13. Reach out to and create linkages with existing structures, networks and platforms including the African Feminist Forum, for greater synergy and impact.
14. Must put to an immediate stop the plunder, not only of mineral resources, but most importantly of human resources, the women and their bodies (DRC)
15. Address the burden of unpaid care work that falls largely on women and girls and has resulted in the large number of women affected by Ebola
16. Establish as a principle of 50% representation of women in decision-making within 8th Pan African Congress structure (Interim processes, International Planning Committee and Governing Council)
17. Ensure the convening of a women’s congress prior to the second phase of the 8th Pan African Congress, and the resuscitate the women’s desk and congress
18. Define and celebrate the African woman. Her image as defined by the African women her color, Her Strength, Her Creativity. Alleviate the burden on the African woman. Change the depiction of African women and celebrate the African woman in all her diversity
19. Reparation fund should be tax free and 60% be directed to the status of the African women
20. Recognize the political rights of women and must be promoted and protected, in terms of attending meetings, voting rights etc.
18. African Peoples Socialist Party We want an end to the political and social oppression and economic exploitation of African women. We believe in the absolute, unequivocal, political, social, and economic equality of African women and men. We believe that a fundamental test of the progressive or revolutionary character of any organization, party, movement, or society is its commitment, confirmed in practice, to the destruction of the special oppression of women and the elevation of women to the rightful place as equal partners and leaders in the forward motion of the development of human society and as leaders, makers, and shapers of human history.
19. Hood Communists Hood Communist stands against patriarchal power as a form of top-down, leader-centered, undemocratic, and dominating power. Patriarchy is a system of male, heterosexual domination often characterized by violence. Patriarchy requires male dominance and hetero-sexism as a norm, which produces systems of oppression against those with different genders and sexual orientations (as well as social prejudices against people with disabilities).
20. African Peoples Socialist Party We believe in the absolute, unequivocal, political, social, and economic equality of African women and men. We believe that a fundamental test of the progressive or revolutionary character of any organization, party, movement, or society is its commitment, confirmed in practice, to the destruction of the special oppression of women and the elevation of women to the rightful place as equal partners and leaders in the forward motion of the development of human society and as leaders, makers, and shapers of human history.
21. Assata's Daughters The original collective came together in struggle as radical Black feminist and organizers, under the shared respect, love, and study of Assata Shakur. They believed it was our collective duty to fight for our freedom. As an organization, AD continues to believe in that collective duty to fight for the liberation of Black people. AD believes our freedom looks like quality public schools; our freedom looks like universal healthcare; our freedom looks living without fear of physical or sexual violence; our freedom looks like economic stability; our freedom looks like self-determination; our freedom looks like communities that practice restorative justice and that make police and cages obsolete; our freedom looks like the eradication of anti-Blackness and all forms of oppression.
22. Black Socialists in America We fully affirm a woman's right to bodily security and bodily autonomy against personal or institutional encroachment, and we staunchly oppose laws that enforce the unequal status and economic dependence of women. Our commitment to the equality of women cannot simply be political; it must also be organizational, cultural, and ideological.
23. Black Alliance for Peace All members, on an organizational and individual level, must be committed to ending patriarchy and all forms of male domination in either internal organizational practice or external/public political positions.

9/10/2021 … Black Studies 2021: A Plan of Action ^
First, I want to thank you for allowing abdulslist to contribute to your thinking about the content of Black Studies. I hope this has been an exciting exercise, a sort of fun process to think about about new and old subjects.
Of course now you know about my new book on the History of Black Studies. Please read it, add it to your course readings, critique it, and help us gain more of the knowledge of our history that we need.
I want to encourage this path with a new Action Plan I am proposing for Black Studies. 10 projects to incorporate in our teaching. Please critique this. Add to it. Document what you have already been doing. Help all of us with your thinking. Is this a program that needs to be adopted by NCBS and/or ASALH? Why not? What is our collective action plan in Black Studies if we have one.
Is individuality the best we can do? Are elites free to do what they want or do they have the responsibility to help pull all of us together to do what must be done. In any case, we all know that just a little common effort in our teaching will make a big impact, a big difference.
Check out the attached plan of action.
We can do this.
Holla back with your ideas, and indicate if you want to be involved (on or off campus).
In solidarity,
abdul

The personal archives of Abdul Alkalimat, as an IBW founder, can be found here: http://alkalimat.org/ibw/
History is not only about the past. We need to use historical reflection as a guide to the future.
SESSION#1: Tuesday, June 29
The Origins and Mission of IBW
This program critically assesses IBW’s role as a think tank for black struggle, discusses the role of Dr. Vincent Harding within the Institute and explores ways in which IBW’s experiences are relevant to today’s struggles.
SESSION #2: Tuesday, July 13
Understanding the New Black Poetry
Dr. Stephen Henderson, an intellectual architect of the Institute, taught in the first of IBW’s Summer Symposia in 1969 and wrote and produced the book Understanding the New Black Poetry. [This collection] framed the seismic shift that occurred in African American arts and letters in the 1960s. This session looks at the ways in which that shift has developed and morphed over the years since.
SESSION #3: Tuesday, July 20
Remaking the Past to Make the Future: The New Black History
This program explores the evolution of Black History from the late 1960s to the present and its relevance to the future of Black America.
SESSION #4: Tuesday, July 27
Education for Liberation
This session will look at our goals in the struggle for a New Black Education. As an IBW Monthly Report said in August 1973, “The education of our children is our responsibility. We cannot place it in anyone else’s hands.”
SESSION #5: Tuesday, August 3
The New Black Studies
This session assesses IBW’s role in promoting, informing and supporting the development of Black Studies with an emphasis on two seminal Black Studies conferences and a variety of publications and consultancies.
SESSION #6: Tuesday, August 10
The New Black Agenda
IBW drafted “The Gary Declaration...." With additions and revisions, it became the National Black Agenda of 1972. This session discusses contemporary black agendas against the backdrop of the Gary Declaration.
SESSION #7: Tuesday August 17
Following the Ancestors' Footsteps into the Future
Tribute to the Ancestors.

12/4/2020 … BBC History of Africa (20 videos) ^
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLajyiGz4JeyPq2lpEt2skZRhQsAspIQCp
This series of 20 programmes is based on a unique project, overseen by UNESCO known as the GHA: the General History of Africa - Africa’s history, culture and heritage written and told by Africans themselves. Zeinab Badawi travels across more than thirty countries in west, east, central and southern Africa and explores the continent’s history from the beginning of time to the modern era with the goal to 'set history straight'. She captures key moments in Africa’s history in her conversations with Africans from all walks of life including leading historians from across Africa and she brings alive some of the lesser known heroes and heroines of the continent’s past. This is a search for truth and identity - uncovering hidden chapters and perspectives of Africa’s history and revising distorted interpretations.

10/6/2020 … A personal/professional request from Abdul ^
Colleagues,
I am breaking my norm of keeping personal issues off the list. Can you take a moment to send an email?
My great-great-grandfather founded the abolitionist town of New Philadelphia, Illinois, in 1836. It was the first town in the US legally established by an African American. A new bill in Congress would make the site a national park, and emails of support will make a difference.
At bottom here is a short email you can use or adapt and links to more info.
Thanks very much,
aa
EMAIL TO USE OR ADAPT:
To: Ashley.Antoskiewicz@mail.house.gov , kcomprix@aol.com
I live in XXXX where I work as a professor of Black Studies at XXXX University. It is my pleasure to write in support of the New Philadelphia National Historical Park Act (H.R. 8224) to add New Philadelphia, Illinois, to the National Park Service. New Philadelphia is part of our country's history to remember, celebrate, protect, and share with all future generations.

Jayne Cortez (1934 - 2012)
Jayne Cortez, poet, activist, independent publisher, and performing and visual artist, was born in Huachuca, Arizona in 1934. She is the author of ten books, and her works has been translated into twenty-eight languages. Some of her major titles include On the Imperial Highway: New and Selected Poems (2008), The Beautiful Book (2007), Jazz Fan Looks Back (2002), Somewhere in Advance of Nowhere (1997), Coagulations: New and Selected Poems (1982). Not only was she a skilled technician of language, but one of the world’s major Afro-Jazz and political visionaries, surrealist poets, whose dynamic charisma and explosive delivery of her work thrilled audiences worldwide.
Jayne Cortez was a committed Pan Africanist, a Women’s / Human Rights activist, and was a member of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Mississippi, registering Black voters, in 1963 and 1964, during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. Sister Jayne Cortez was major Djali/Griot of the modern African post-colonial experience, and a major writer in the U.S. and African world. Historically she is a “Sister” to the great Negritude poets, such as Aimé Césaire and colleagues. We must remember her as one of the major voices and visionaries of our time.

Amiri Baraka (1934 - 2014)
Amiri Baraka started out as a beat poet in Greenwich Village in New York City. His 1960 trip to Cuba after Fidel Castro came to power had a radical impact on his life. As poet, author, and, playwright, Amiri Baraka built a national and international reputation as artist. After the assassination Malcolm X’s in 1965 he moved to Harlem where he founded the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School. As one of the major figures along with Larry Neal, Sonia Sanchez, and, Askia Toure, they are regarded as the architects of the Black Arts Movement that worked in tandem with the emerging Black Power Movement. He became a leading force in the African Liberation Support Committee. Amiri eventually moved back to Newark, NJ, where he and his wife Amina founded the Committee for Unified Newark and the Congress of African People. He published several journals and the newspaper Unity and Struggle that used Marxism-Leninism to inform the Black Liberation Movement.
We should remember Amiri for his contributions to not only the Black Liberation Movement, but for his struggle to connect the national question of Black self-determination to the international class question of capitalist and imperialist exploitation of working people. Amiri was not born a revolutionary. It was his engagement as an artist who grew more conscious of how oppressive a capitalism society functions. Instead of buying into the privilege of a celebrated artist, Amiri embraced the black masses bringing his artistic and intellectual skills into his community giving voice and advocating for democratic Black power. Throughout the various phases of his life, Amiri continued to grow politically grappling with how to fuse the struggle for Black liberation and struggle for socialism in America. By struggling to take up different questions and changing his outlook and his own practice made him a transformational revolutionary, someone who was self-critical and reflective about building a new society.

4/14/2020 … The global Black experience (74 countries, 254 links) ^
What does it mean to be Black in the world today? In any given country, who is Black? What is the relationship between being Black and having a specific nationality? language? parents? What does "race" (biology, skin color and hair texture) have to do with it? In fact, what do we even know about being Black in different parts of the world?
This link points to the Black experience in 74 countries. Some data, some culture, some youthful self-expression. Just a taste of each.
http://www.alkalimat.org/global/
While we're in a stay at home moment why not take a look at these very different parts of the world. Maybe your students would be interested as well. No, extend that to your friends and family, especially the youth.

4/4/2020 … Black people and the Coronavirus ^
Current policy on C-19 leads to these results. It’s time to speak up about this.
As of Friday morning, African Americans made up almost half of Milwaukee County’s 945 cases and 81% of its 27 deaths in a county whose population is 26% black. Milwaukee is one of the few places in the United States that is tracking the racial breakdown of people who have been infected by the novel coronavirus, offering a glimpse at the disproportionate destruction it is inflicting on black communities nationwide.
In Michigan, where the state’s population is 14% black, African Americans made up 35% of cases and 40% of deaths as of Friday morning. Detroit, where a majority of residents are black, has emerged as a hot spot with a high death toll. As has New Orleans. Louisiana has not published case breakdowns by race, but 40% of the state’s deaths have happened in Orleans Parish, where the majority of residents are black.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/stop-looking-away-race-covid-19-victims/609250/
On Friday, the Illinois Department of Public Health became one of the few state offices to release some racial data. And the data showed a pandemic within the pandemic: African Americans are significantly overrepresented in infection rates in Illinois, while whites and Latinos are significantly underrepresented. African Americans make up 14.6 percent of the state population, but 28 percent of confirmed cases of the coronavirus. White people comprise 76.9 percent of the Illinois population, and 39 percent of the confirmed cases. Latinos comprise 17.4 percent of the state population, and 7 percent of the cases. In Illinois, Asian Americans were the only racial group without a significant disparity between their state population, at 5.9 percent, and confirmed cases, at 4 percent. (Nearly a third of cases were recorded as “other” or left blank. Illinois did not release racial data on Native Americans, or on testing, hospitalization, and death rates by race.)
The coronavirus is infecting and killing an alarming proportion of Black residents in Michigan.
Black people make up 12% of Michigan's population. But of the state’s 417 coronavirus deaths, 40% are Black, 26% are white, 30% are unknown, and 4% are mixed race or other, according to data released Thursday by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
Of the nearly 11,000 who tested positive for the coronavirus, 35% are Black, 25% white, 34% are unknown. An additional 6% represent other races.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
A number of international meetings starting in 1900 led to FESTAC ’77. These books are important background reading:
Michael A. Gomez, Reversing Sail: A History of the African Diaspora (2005)
Ronald Walters, Pan Africanism in the African Diaspora: An Analysis of Modern Afrocentric Political Movements (2000)
Hakim Adi and Marika Sherwood, The 1945 Manchester Pan-African Congress Revisited (1995)
Patrick Manning, The African Diaspora: A History Through Culture (2009)
Marika Sherwood, Origins of Pan-Africanism: Henry Sylvester Williams, Africa, and the African Diaspora (2011)
Hakim Adi, Pan-Africanism: A History (2018)
The great narrative of the 20th century has been the dialectic from colonization to the freedom struggle based on the self-organization of African peoples. These five moments are key:
1884-85: The Berlin conference where the European powers divided Africa amongst themselves. The United States was at the conference!
1914: the founding of the United Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League led by Marcus Garvey
1945: The Fifth Pan African Congress that led to the anti-colonial struggle for national independence
1957: The liberation of Ghana and the emergence of Kwame Nkrumah as a global leader of Africa and the African Diaspora
1963: the establishment of the Organization of African Unity
GLOBAL PANAFRICAN MEETINGS
The Pan African Movement of the first half of the 20th century was mainly organized in the African Diaspora, not in Africa itself. The Pan African Congresses took place in Europe and the U.S.:
1900: London
1919: Paris
1921: London, Paris, and Brussels
1923: London and Lisbon
1927: New York
1945: Manchester
Here is a short video introduction to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn12bNvt1sY&feature=player_embedded
This process of global Pan African meetings took off again in 1956 in Paris, hosted by Presence Africaine, a cultural organization with a journal, publishing house, and bookstore. Here is a documentary video https://tinyurl.com/yb3plpeo and an article https://tinyurl.com/y7hr858j .
The 2nd conference by the Paris organizers was held in Rome in 1959. Presence Africaine published the proceedings of both conferences. https://tinyurl.com/yb2c4ych .
The next major meeting took place in Africa! Presence Africaine’s best connection in Africa was with Senegal through their leader Leopold Senghor. He took the lead in organizing a Pan African Festival in the Senegal capital of Dakar in 1966. There are documentary videos:

The next Pan African Festival was in Algiers in 1969. This William Klein video documents the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaPLGDSigzU
6th PanAfrican Congress (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) 1974
https://www.panafricanalliance.com/6th-pan-african-congress/
The next major international festival was FESTAC in 1977. Before discussing FESTAC itself, note that after FESTAC, many more global events took place, including more Pan African Congresses (https://alchetron.com/Pan-African-Congress ). An important process was the annual London-based International Bookfair of Radical Black and Third World Books and its festival, with the lead organizers John La Rose and Sarah White. Their New Beacon Books was a publishing house and the first Black bookshop in England.

http://oomk.net/blog/issue_2_deep_roots.html
FESTAC
FESTAC was not in line with the pro-Negritude approach of the 1966 Dakar festival, nor was it as political as the 1969 Algiers festival. Nigeria has the largest population of all African countries, and it has oil as the engine of its national economy. Nigerians are the largest contributor to populating the African Diaspora. It seemed logical that Nigeria would play such a role as host for FESTAC ’77.
The international festival planners divided the world into zones and recruited coordinators for each zone. Two major struggles defined how the festival developed. In Nigeria there were many issues around the budget and how it would be utilized. Nigeria had and has a stark class structure with both superrich and destitute poor. In the Diaspora, issues of representation were key, especially the contradiction between the official governments of the African Diaspora, bearing colonial legacies, and the African-descendent artistic communities.
One critical issue was the refusal of the British government to loan the Benin royal mask carved of ivory that was chosen as the FESTAC symbol. It portrayed the Iyoba, or Queen Mother, of Benin. They claimed to fear it would not be returned. The Nigerian government then had a local sculptor craft a replica. Part of the tragic legacy of FESTAC is that the artist was never paid for this. See the artist’s link on the Legacy page for more information on this.
The U.S. delegation was led by Jeff Donaldson and Hoyt Fuller, both veterans of the Chicago Black Arts Movement. A major event was the Wall of Respect created by OBAC (Organization of Black American Culture), an organization that Donaldson and Fuller helped lead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6P0DqI-B4Y ). Hoyt was an editor (Negro Digest/Black World/First World) and Jeff became head of the Art Department at Howard University. A massive US delegation was organized covering every major art, both artists and historians/critics. (For a partial list of participants see https://www.facebook.com/festac77archive/posts/all-of-the-festac-77-images-have-been-digitized-and-made-into-work-prints-art-hi/1525977327696048/ .)

1/14/2019 … Black Studies and local community research ^
One of the tasks of a Black Studies Program is to do research on the local Black community, including the main places where our students come from. This is a silence that can't be allowed if Black Studies is to embrace the slogan we live and work by: Academic Excellence and Social Responsibility.
Here are examples of my work representing time in Toledo, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, and Urbana, Illinois.

11/26/2018 … FESTAC: Second World Black and African Festival of Art and Culture 1977 ^
FESTAC ’77 was the largest Pan-African cultural gathering before or since 1977. The Nigerian government hosted more than 16,000 participants who came from all over Africa and the African Diaspora.
This website is a digital collection of FESTAC ’77. It presents the official documents handed to participants, some of the papers presented, video documentaries, and articles written about FESTAC.
I was a U.S. delegate to the FESTAC Colloquium, so much of this material is from my personal archive. There is also considerable information gathered from various websites. We also present information on the legacy of FESTAC. On this basis we have to challenge the Nigerian government to make sure that the memory of FESTAC is secure. If any Nigerians visit this website I would encourage you to find out what is going on and push for positive developments.

Black Toledo: A Documentary History of the African American Experience in Toledo, Ohio
Edited by Abdul Alkalimat and Rubin Patterson
http://www.brill.com/products/book/black-toledo
The African American experience since the 19th century has included the resettlement of people from slavery to freedom, agriculture to industry, South to North, and rural to urban centers. Original documents in this book tell the story spanning 200 plus years in Toledo, Ohio:
1. The origin of the Black community, 1787 to 1900
2. The formation of community life, 1900 to 1950
3. Community development and struggle, 1950 to 2000
4. Survival during deindustrialization, 2000 to 2016
The book includes articles from the Toledo Blade and local Black press, excerpts of doctoral and masters theses, and other specialist and popular writings from and about Toledo itself. It includes organizing in the Black community, linking campus faculty and students with community activists. Alkalimat was director of the African American Studies Program at the University of Toledo from 1996 to 2007.
