{"value"=>"<p>The files in this series were culled for the most part from the voluminous Afram files – the main body of the author's correspondence is yet to be recovered. The Afram Action Library and other name files, in alphabetical order, are mostly incoming letters with attachments and printed matter. Noteworthy files include those of Ruwa Chiri (1943-1974), a young Zimbabwean writer and editor of the magazine Afrika Must Unite who was killed by a subway train in Harlem; the Japan Center for International Exchange, and Mako Nakagawa (Asian-American Cultural Heritage) for their relevance to African-American and Japanese relations in the 1970s. The remaining letters in this series, filed chronologically from 1958 to 2005, provide a good cross- section of the author's activities and interests. They range from a case of housing discrimination in 1959, his 1974 car accident and its aftermath, and the imposition of a security deposit on residents in low income neighborhood by the New York Telephone Company in 1977, to the forced resignation of Atlanta Commissioner of Public Safety Reginald Eaves accused of favoring black officers in police promotional examinations (1978), the classification of African- Americans as Negro or Black by the 1990 Census, his support of black political prisoners Joan Little, Dhoruba Moore and the Wilmington 10, and his many letters to editors and public officials on issues of the day.</p>"}
