During the height of the Cold War, passionate idealists across the
US and Africa came together to fight for Black self-determination
and the antiracist remaking of society. 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 US—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.
