Including workshops & discussions on Black Nationalism and Black Feminism; listening to and discussing recorded speeches of Malcolm X on July 27th. The Republic of New Africa (RNA) is a Black nationalist organization established in 1968 with the aim of achieving territorial separation for African Americans from the predominantly white society. It sought to form an independent nation within the "Black Belt, " which encompasses parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

The RNA's objectives included fostering cooperative economics based on the principles of "Ujamaa, " promoting community self-sufficiency, and advocating for reparations from the U. In its pursuit of these goals, the RNA aimed to create a governing body for what it termed the "non-self-governing Blacks held captive within the United States", establishing consulates in several cities including New York and Washington, D. However, the organization faced significant opposition from the federal government, which viewed it as a security threat. This hostility resulted in confrontations with the FBI and local law enforcement, leading to the imprisonment of many of its leaders and diminishing the group's influence over time.

The Republic of New Africa remains a significant chapter in the history of Black nationalism and civil rights activism in the U. Very good+ condition 8.5" x 11". Please see our other original vintage photographs, antique books and ephemera. Please Read the Following Terms.
