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"

Date: October 18th, November 15th, December 13th

Time: 11:00am SST

October is the International Month of Action Against AFRICOM. Join BAPSoCal for “What Is AFRICOM?”, a teach-in on U.S. Africa Command: what it is, what it does on the continent, and how the same militarism operates in Los Angeles and across the Americas. The teach-in is designed as an introduction, so no background is needed. It will include a presentation, small-group discussion and time to connect with African/Black and anti-imperialist organizations in Los Angeles. Free and open to the community. Snacks provided.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), signed in September 2025, directs Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity" as indicators of domestic terrorism, mobilizing post-9/11 security infrastructure against left opposition. This is simply the latest development in the U.S. imperialist state’s domestic and global strategy of full spectrum domination and war on the self-determination of Black/African and colonized peoples.

So, how does the radical Black movement respond?

Join the Black Alliance for Peace for the first session of the NBROC teach-in series as we discuss how the radical Black movement can understand and respond to this dangerous period and elevate our resistance through principled unity based in anti-imperialist praxis.

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.
