Archive Liberia is entering its fifth year of fall study groups. Launched in 2022, these study groups use collective study to build collective consciousness around Liberia’s histories, its future possibilities on the African continent, and its connections to Black histories in the U.S. and the Caribbean. From the beginning, the approach has been intentionally anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist, with the aim of pushing Liberian Studies to the Left.

Rather than focusing on a single theme, this year’s study group will bring together multiple texts and transcripts that explore Liberia’s histories prior to the 1800s, its place within the trans-Atlantic slave trade and Black Studies, and possibilities for a sovereign future guided by an “African personality.”

I’m excited to welcome Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes, who will present in Session 2 as we discuss Liberia’s place in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and its fight against slavery; Dr. Robtel Neajai Pailey, who will co-facilitate Session 3 as we consider a reimagining of Liberia; Bry Reed, who will co-facilitate Session 4 as we explore Liberia’s place in Black Studies; and Erica Caines, who will present in Session 5 as we use Kwame Nkrumah’s “African personality” to envision a sovereign future.

This month the Sudanese Resistance Front will be discussing "On Economics and Regional Autonomy"

The first session has been rescheduled for October 24, 2026

Baltimore and the All African People’s Revolutionary Party welcome the 1st session of our town halls on “people, program and praxis.”  While repression in the throughout the us and Baltimore increases, the same repression is seen through the continent. While policies like the 1033 program bring military grade equipment to the streets of Baltimore, Africa is plagued by the us Africa command, also known as AFRICOM. Which has continued to bring destruction from Libya to Somalia. The enemy we face is international. What connects us is that the same outcome of extraction. Disregard for Black/African Lives, and underdevelopment at the hands of us/western forces. No black misleadership class or compradore is going to challenge these contradictions. Defense of our communities is determined by the actions we take. Join the conversation as we connect the struggle in Baltimore to the struggle in Africa, and what we can learn and apply to the programs, theories and actions that we take. 

Stop the Attacks! Rally and Press Conference

Stop the Attacks! End FBI Repression of Baltimore Activists!

Join community members in Baltimore for a rally and press conference demanding that the US and Philippine governments end their detention, harassment, and intimidation of Baltimore-based Filipino and solidarity activists in the Philippine movement!

The FBI is trying to intimidate and criminalize organizers standing with the Filipino people experiencing extreme hardship and oppression under the Marcos Jr. administration.
However, in the face of state-sponsored terror and laws weaponized against the people, the people will not back down from repression! Fight for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines!

 Defend People’s Struggle! Solidarity is not a crime!

In this session of Assata Shakur Popular Education, we will examine AFRICOM’s role in advancing U.S. imperialism and neocolonialism across Africa.

We will explore how African political elites enable Western military intervention, repression, and destabilization at the expense of working-class Africans. We will challenge the narratives used to justify AFRICOM’s presence, including claims of promoting security, democracy, and countering Chinese influence.

Finally, we will connect these struggles to Black working-class communities in D.C. and discuss how Pan-African organizing can advance African liberation and self-determination.
