The American Society of African Culture was an organization of African-American writers, artists, and scholars. It educated Americans on African culture through publications, lectures, and conferences. These records consist largely of printed material, a book and play, reviews, speeches, and conference programs concerning many aspects of African culture in transition; minutes of an annual meeting, 1961; correspondence with John A. Davis and Brooke Aronson, 1962-1966; and budgets.
