The post World War I years witnessed the growth of a powerful civil
rights movement among African Americans culminating in the triumphs
and setbacks of the 1960s. At the same time, however, African
Americans were extending their view outward from the shores of the
United States, taking a greater interest in foreign affairs and
their nation's foreign policy than ever before.
The selections in this reader focus on how and why that interest
developed, and what impact African Americans had on U.S. diplomacy.
They demonstrate how the fight for civil rights and equality at
home quickly spilled over into concerns regarding race and foreign
policy. A tremendous interest in the decolonization of Africa,
efforts to have an African American voice heard in the United
Nations protests against South African apartheid, and criticisms of
the Vietnam War were all indications that for many African
Americans race was now a global issue.
