{"value"=>"<p>Irving Davis (1937-1981), an activist during the 1960s and 1970s, conceived and founded the Pan-African Skills Project (PASP), based on Pan-African/Black Nationalist philosophies. The main aim of PASP was to send skilled African Americans to work in newly independent African nations to assist with their development programs. Started as a project of the Africa Commission of the National Committee of Black Churchmen, within a few years of its inception, it was mutually agreed that PASP should be an independent organization.</p> <p>PASP projects included the sponsorship of the Economic Development and African-Afro-American Relations conference, in 1971, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The conference provided a platform for Afro-American and African churchmen to discuss Black/African theology, education, economic development, and transcontinental relations. The proceedings of the conference can be found in the book <span class=\"title\">Black Faith and Black Solidarity</span>.</p>"}
