Box 97 Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa Dear Dr. Rheinallt Jones: + • r. want y°u to know that, we have been organizing a representa­ tive _ Committee ^o consider the problems of Africa and Peace Aims. The Commit- tee is made up entirely of American citizens, all of whom have either lived in Africa or visited Africa. I will send you some preliminary material later. am writing now merely to send you, in confidence, a copy of the Agenda which we discussed at tne first meeting, and to ask whether you have any general suggestions to make from your wide African experience* Tae Com®ittete, at its first meeting, asked me to serve as Acting Chairman. Many of the members of the Committee are old friends of yours, such as Dr. Emory Ross, Dr. Jackson Davis, Mr. J. Merle Davis, Mr. John H. Reisner, Dr. Channing H. Tobias and many others. ^ou I think, be glad to know that we unanimously decided that we should not try to go into tne details of problems in definite areas tut merely consider the fundamental principles and their major applications. Dr. Jones thought it probably best that he should not actually serve as a memter of the Committee, for it is barely possible tnat conditions may develop where it will seem advisable for him to go to Africa at the close of the war ior a supplementary Educational Survey, and it might be embarrassing if he were connected with the statement of our Committee. He will, however, as you can well imagine, meet with us and be invaluable. If you have prepared anything on Africa and Peace Aims, or if you have any suggestions to make for our consideration, I should count it a privilege if you would send them to us by the quickest method. Very sincerely yours, APS RLK By Air Mail. Copy by ordinary mail. UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA.—UNIE VAN SUID-AFRIKA. DEPARTMENT OF NATIVE AFFAIRS. S E P 1 2 4 1 DEPARTEMENT VAN NATURELLESAKE. P.O.

No.No. " / 24-th Septem b e r , 1941. 19 CONFIDENTIAL Post-War Reconstruction My dear Senator Rheinallt Jones, I have been appointed as a member of an Interdepart­ mental Committee to assist the Cabinet Committee established by the Government to study post-war reconstruction, and I venture to send you copies of a confidential circular that is being issued by the Department of External Affairs to Heads of Departments of State,and Mr. Hofmeyr’s speech at the Pretoria Rotarian Luncheon on 18th September. I need not emphasise the Native side in any schemes of reconstruction after the war, and I shall appreciate very much indeed any suggestions you may be able to give me from time to time to enable us to make preparations for the problems that will confront us when peace comes. The re-absorption of discharged Native soldiers into civil life is only one aspect of the question, and if we are to be of any practical assistance to the Government we shall all have to give the matter earnest thought. Yours sincerely Senator the Honourable J.D. Rheinallt Jones 20th October, 1941. D.L. Smit, Esq., P.O.

    James Kwegyir Aggrey (1875- 1927) Kwegyir Aggrey was born in Anomabo. At the age of eight, he was baptized and given his Christian name James. He also attended the above mentioned Wesleyan elementary school.1 In 1898, the Bishop John Bryan Small (?- 1915) of the “African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church” (USA) came to Gold Coast. He had been there, before, when he had come from Barbados/ Bahamas as a clerk of the British Army, but had resigned because of British aggression towards the Asante. He then had travelled to the US to become a minister at the AME Zion Church. In Gold Coast, he was looking for educationally qualified young men who would go to the US for training and later return as missionaries. Small stayed for only six years and then returned to the US. Nevertheless, when he died, some of his last words were: "Don't let my African work fail!"2 Small selected Aggrey because he was known to be very bright. Aggrey was brought to Salisbury/ North Carolina and attended the Livingstone College where he graduated in 1902 with three academic degrees. He was appointed minister of the AME Zion Church in Salisbury and married Rose Douglas, a native of Virginia, with whom he had four children. Aggrey began to teach at the college. In 1920, Dr. Paul Monroe,3 professor at Columbia University, offered to him the opportunity to join the otherwise all-white African Education Commission of the Phelps-Stokes Fund4 to assess the educational needs in Africa. Aggrey agreed and started a voyage visiting areas in the today countries Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola.

Judge Dudley is a former U.S. Ambassador to Liberia, having served in that capacity from 1948 to 1953. He was a pioneer in the field of diplomacy and holds the distinction of having been the first black American to obtain the status of Ambassador in the United States Foreign Service. This interview is being sponsored by the Phelps-Stokes Fund as part of an oral history project on Black Chiefs of Mission. The interview is a first in a series. It is being held Friday April 3, 1981 at 60 Center Street, New York City. Celestine Tutt, interviewer. Judge Dudley, could we begin by your telling us about the events which led to your entry into diplomatic service? DUDLEY: Well, to begin with, 1948 was the year in which we were electing a new president of the United States and the then Minister to Liberia, Raphael O'Hara Lanier, former president at that time of one of the colleges of the state of Florida, felt that since the prognosis of us having a Republican president in the person of Governor Dewey might put him out of a job, he resigned and went back to Florida to pick up his educational work.

RALSTON It is trite but true that African reaction to European colonial overrule was never an undifferentiated phenomenon. Many studies have revised some of the old­ fashioned thinking on the subject. However, although these works are important, we are still left generally with only the most obvious kinds of distinctions bet­ ween varieties of colonial Afri~an response to the implanti ng of colonial regimes.2 Thus , the present essay will demonstrate that clear distinctions within the leadership strata can and should be made not simply between traditional resistance and modern nationalism, but also between leaderships arising during modern movements alone. In other words, African leadership both under colonialism and in the modern nationalist period will be seen as a dynamic, not a static, phe­ nomenon. One of the influences contributing to changes within colonial African leadership, and on which an important distinction in that leadership can be based, was American study sojourns.3 Africans from the several African areas affected (detractors might say Infected) by such an influence generally took political paths different from those taken by the traditional African elite under colonialism; but they were also set apart from a modern African elite educated in colonial metro­ politan centers.

    Tuskegee, Achimota and the Construction of Black Transcultural Identity by Pamela Newkirk Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2012 @ 2012 Pamela Newkirk All rights reserved ABSTRACT Tuskegee, Achimota and the Construction of Black Transcultural Identity Pamela Newkirk Over the past four decades numerous scholars from a diverse range of fields, including history and comparative education, have turned to the transfer of the Hampton- Tuskegee model from the United States South to British colonial Africa to explore issues of global educational transfer and borrowing; nation-building; character education; and British colonial education policies.1 The primary goal of my dissertation is to consider this instance of educational transfer as a means of exploring the broader issues of black transcultural identity and black agency in education policy formation and implementation in the U.S. and in the Gold Coast. The two black actors who figure prominently in this case study are Booker T. Washington, the president and founder of Tuskegee Institute, and his African counter- part, James E.K. Aggrey, a co-founder of Achimota who together became the public face of the model on two continents while they quietly nurtured a elite cadre of black professionals and activists beneath the façade of industrial education. Using education as a site of social, political and economic transformation, this dissertation will require attention to both the explicit and subtle activities of Washington and Aggrey beneath the façade of accommodation to the prevailing ideology of white elites.
