Additional Details

An organizational chart of the newly formed Black nationalist group Republic of New Africa, prepared by the F.B.I. as part of a federal report on riots and civil disorders. The group asserted that Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina were subjugated territory to be liberated. The group's founding president Robert F. Williams is shown, and his eventual successor Richard Henry (Imari Obadele) is named as head of the midwest region. Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, is shown as a former vice president. Two major figures not commonly associated with the group are named as Ministers of Culture: Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka), and Maulana Karenga (the creator of Kwanzaa and head of US Organization). Minister of Health & Welfare Audley Moore (Queen Mother Moore) was born in 1898 and provided a link to the earlier work of Marcus Garvey.
