AM Releases the First Module of Its American Committee on Africa Collection
AM published Module I of its new primary source archive, American Committee on Africa (ACOA), which is a comprehensive resource for researching African liberation movements in the mid-to-late 20th century during the first decades of ACOA’s work. “Established in 1953 by George M. Houser, the ACOA operated out of New York with a mission to support African self-determination and educate the American public on African affairs,” AM states. The collection offers “a wealth of rare materials that highlight the ACOA’s involvement in liberation movements, from campaigning for economic sanctions against apartheid South Africa, to advocating for independence movements across the African continent. Students, researchers, and educators will gain access to documents that bridge African liberation movements and US Civil Rights struggles, underscoring a critical period of social change, anti-colonialism, and Cold War politics.”For more information, read the news item.
