This book chronicles the diplomacy of civil rights activist
Theodore Brown and the American Negro Leadership Conference on
Africa (ANLCA) to help end the Nigeria-Biafra civil war from 1967
to 1970. The book challenges histories dismissive of the ANLCA and
makes its contribution to African American history and U.S. history
by arguing that the group was successful as the only African
American group allowed to serve as mediators to the conflict. This
was a "first" for African American relations with Africa as a
result of post-coloniality. Their endeavor opened up a new avenue
for relations between the two peoples. Their effort was unique
because it was independent of the U.S. government.
