"the congress of african peoples met in atlanta in september, 1970. a progeny of the pan-african congresses that met overseas between 1900 and 1945 and akin to the three u.s. black power conferences held between 1966 and 1968, the congress was attended by 2,700 delegates, including 350 from african and third-world countries. the delegates were of mixed ideologies: integrationists, revolutionaries, and some in between. all groups, however, were in atlanta seeking a way for black liberation. this book tells us what happened and gives us resolutions and discussions developed in this first modern pan-african congress."
