I, however, regret to say, because of pressure - due to necessary arrangements before departure, I cannot see my way clear to accept either date. Kindly convey my appreciation of the suggestion to your Club. I shall, however, be back next year. Thanking you again, Yours sincerely, ABXttpd. Mr. D.M.Denalane, Robinson Deep, Johannesburg.

You could got in touch with me through Roy Wilkins of the Crisis, or Max Yergan of the International Committee of African Affairs# With best wishes, Yours very sincerely, ABX#pd. fto* 37 0S/Lf 14th May, 1937, Dear Bishop V.right, n I received your letter of sometime ago re raising the sum of ft250« Unfortunately, you did not stat^/hat it was for and what the terms of repayment would be, i f a loan to that amount were available. I may say that there would be no difficulty on my part getting such an amount, or even a -£1000 or two. As I presume that the loan is for the work of the Church, my difficulty is that there seems to be no one who knows about the assets of the Church or of the Title Deeds of Church properties, except the Bishops who come and go» Besides, every Bishop seems to have a policy of his own, and the Church has no sound business financial policy. No one, perhaps until now, as I personally cannot tell who is who and what is going on in the affairs of the Church* since you came, seemed to know even v/here the Church* s funds are banked. As a result of this, when Bishops go away at the end of the tyiadrennium, the»e are no funds with which to meet the ChurchAs o b l a t i o n s , and this was how the church became indebted to me and to Mrs. Morake. Herfc *61 advanced to the School, was approved for payment in the last Conference in 1935 at Bloemfontein. The other *18 owing to her, which account I handed over to you, was monies paid out during my absence at Port Hare, before she left for overseas. My account of JL84 which I also handed to you, were monies advanced partly, at tine request of the then Presiding Bishop, and partly to save the Church from disgrace for their inability to pay the Teachers' salaries. If there were a financial policy, I submit that these accounts should have been paid. Besides, you \rttte me to raise funds, and yet you have been arou&d my home often enough; but you have never found it neceseary to discuss the financial situation with me officially or unofficially, as Treasurer of the Oauw&M and one who could possibly help the Church/ 2.. ! 2m BISHOP WEIGHT (Continuation) 14th May, 1937, Church, If things were run on a business-like way, I am going overseas and could have, perhaps, done something In the interest of the school. Under these circumstances, you can see how difficult it must be for me, as a business man, to commit myself in anything in the name of the Church, when I do not know what your plans are for raising loans or for theu/repayments• >' „ \ I shall be in Cape Town on the Thursday before I sail, May kiOth,, and hope to receive a cheque in settlement of my account.

  • Poor Bedfellows: How Blacks and the Communism
    Poor Bedfellows: How Blacks and the Communist Party Grew Apart in the Post-War Era Jill Ferris November 30, 2007 Culture and Society in Cold War America Prof. Wall Ferris 2 The decade following the end of World War II is characterized by the building of the Cold War consensus. Virulently anti-Communist in nature, this consensus poised the nation in a moral battle against the Soviet Union. With the 1948 arrest and prosecution of eleven Communist leaders under the Smith Act, as well as well-publicized investigations conducted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and later Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Government Operations Subcommittee on Investigations, the government fostered the development of the second “Red Scare” in the twentieth century. This decade also represents a complicated and challenging time within the historical context of the civil rights struggle. Many black veterans returned home from the war, only to find themselves shut out of veteran’s organizations like the American Legion and, in general, the post-war American dream. 1 Until 1954 when the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, the civil rights movement was marked by small battles, successes and losses. Individuals and organizations struggled to define the movement within the new era and formulate a successful strategy to bring about significant change in the treatment of blacks in America. The combination of these two environments – strong anti-communist sentiment and a factional civil rights movement – created a challenging situation for the Communist Party’s relationship to the black community.

  • 1 Cold War Contested Truth
    Cold War Contested Truth: Informants, Surveillance, and the Disciplining of Black Radicalism, 1947-1957 Charisse Burden-Stelly, PhD Africana Studies and Political Science Carleton College [email protected] (510) 717-9000 Introduction During the height of the era of McCarthyism, roughly 1947-1957, Black radicalism was surveilled, disciplined, discredited, and criminalized through a multitude of anticommunist technologies. These included “parallelism,” red-baiting, infiltration, and guilt by association. McCarthyism was constituted by a range of legislation meant to fortify the U.S. security state against the Communist threat, starting with the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, and including the Alien Registration Act of 1940 (commonly known as the Smith Act); the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (often referred to as the Taft-Hartley Act); Executive Order 9835 of 1947 (the “Loyalty Order”) and its supersession by Executive Order 10450 in 1953; the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations; and the Internal Security Act of 1950 (also known as the McCarran Act). It was under this legal architecture that scores of activists and scholars who defied Cold War statist pedagogy were indicted, deported, incarcerated, surveilled, and forced underground. This paper uses the examples of the the Peace Information Center (PIC) the Sojourners for Truth and Justice (STJ), and the Council on African Affairs (CAA) to elucidate that career confidential informants, “stool pigeons,” and “turncoats” were instrumental to the Cold War state apparatus’s transmogrification of Black radicals committed to anti-imperialism, anticolonialism, antiracism, peace, and the eradication of economic exploitation into criminals and subversives. Black 1 radicalism can be understood as African descendants’ multivalent and persistent praxis aimed at dismantling structures of domination that sustain racialized dispossession, exploitation, and class-based domination.

Among Smuts’s many remarks stands a particular speech he delivered in New York City, when he called Africans “the most patient of all animals, next to the ass.” Naturally, this and other comments touched off a firestorm of controversy surrounding Smuts, his visit, and segregationist South Africa’s laws.

  • Providential Design: American Negroes and Garveyism in South Africa
    W&M ScholarWorks Arts & Sciences Book Chapters Arts and Sciences 9-1-2009 Providential Design: American Negroes and Garveyism in South Africa Robert Trent Vinson Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.wm.edu/asbookchapters Part of the African History Commons, and the Other American Studies Commons Providential Design American Negroes and Garveyism in South Africa robert vinson The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) was the largest and most widespread black movement ever. At its height in the early 1920s, the UNIA had an estimated 2 million members and sympathizers and more than 1,000 chapters in forty-three countries and territories. Founded and led by the Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey, the New York–based UNIA’s meteoric rise resulted from an agenda that included ship- ping lines, corporations, and universities; a Liberian colonization scheme; a resolute desire to reconstitute African independence; and a fierce racial pride. Outside North America and the Caribbean, these aims and idealsgeneri- cally called Garveyismhad their greatest impact in South Africa, as reflected in that country’s eight official andumerous n unofficial UNIA chapters. Garvey- ism, furthermore, pervaded black South African political, religious, educa- tional, and socioeconomic movements throughout the 1920s and 1930s.1 In this essay I make three arguments. First, Garveyism in South Africa was related to notions of “Providential Design” and modernity, which were central to the racial interface between black South Africans and “American Negroes,” a category that encompassed black West Indians as well as African Americans. Second, an international black sailing community played a crucial role in transmitting Garveyism from the Americas into South African political culture.

Among Fund; W.E.B. Du Bois; Howard Smuts’s many remarks stands a particular speech he delivered in New University York City, when he called Africans “the most patient of all animals, next to the ass.” Naturally, this and other comments touched off a firestorm of controversy surrounding Smuts, his visit, and segregationist South Africa’s laws. Utilizing news coverage, correspondence, and recollections of the trip, this article uses his visit as a lens into both African American relations with Africa and white American foundation work toward the continent and, especially, South Africa. It argues that the 1930 visit represents an early example of black internationalism and solidarity, reflecting a shift from sociocultural connections between Africa and the diaspora to creating political movements on behalf of African people. To contextualize this visit, we assess events surrounding a meeting that the Phelps-Stokes Fund organized for Smuts at Howard University, using this as a lens into the two disparate, yet interlocked, communities.
