The Black Forum on Foreign Affairs was formed in 1975 as a precursor to TransAfrica, which was conceived on September 25, 1976 by the Congressional Black Caucus at the Black Leadership Conference on Africa. Its purpose was to research and educate United States policymakers on African and Caribbean regions in order to advocate for global justice. On July 1, 1977, TransAfrica was formally incorporated with Randall Robinson as its first Director. Additionally, TransAfrica was a founding member of the Free South Africa Movement. The documents below were kept and created by Chicagoans who participated in TransAfrica.
