Beginning with the 1957 Ghanaian independence celebration, the optimism and challenges of African independence leaders were publicized to African Americans through community-based newspapers and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Inspired by African independence--and frustrated with the slow pace of civil rights reforms in the U.S.--a new generation of Black Power activists embarked on nonviolent direct action campaigns and built alternative institutions designed as spaces of freedom from racial subjugation. Featuring interviews with activists, extensive archival research, and media analysis, Robin Hayes reveals how Black Power and African independence activists created a diaspora underground, characterized by collaboration and reciprocal empowerment. Together, they redefined racial discrimination as an international human rights issue requiring education, sustained collective action, and global solidarity--laying the groundwork for future transnational racial justice movements, such as Black Lives Matter"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a National liberation movements $z Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Black power $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political activists $z Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political activists $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American political activists $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African diaspora $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Pan-Africanism. 651 0 $a Africa $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032022.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024130.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100243.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210811010106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66179DE8FA6911EB98C5017225ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
