{"value"=>"<p>This series represents Forrester's professional career as a foreign diplomat, a United Nations representative, and an active member of organizations such as the African Communications Institute (ACI), the Global Rights Organization, African Development Foundation (ADF), Association of Black American Ambassadors, and TransAfrica. Unfortunately, the materials in this series do not offer a deeper perspective on the details of the work Forrester did during her long career. The Association of Black American Ambassadors folder includes correspondence, bank statements, budgetary information, bylaws, and meeting minutes. However, the documents do not reflect Forrester's role in the association or any of her activities. Forrester served as a board member for the Global Rights Organization (1970-2004), for which there are two folders containing some organizational materials. The first folder of materials was either written or compiled by her; it includes corporation records, bylaws, tax forms, and expense reports on individual countries that the organization worked with. The second folder contains printed matter and reports about work she did in Liberia after the civil war in 2004. The miscellaneous folder contains mainly correspondence (1981-1985, 2004), some dealing with salary and award amounts Forrester received, and a directory for members of the Association of Former International Civil Servants (AFICS). The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) folder consists of documents concerning her posts in Africa, Barbados, and the Eastern Caribbean. Additionally, there are items that relate to Drum and Spear Press including email correspondence, a letter from C.R.L. James (1969), and two Drum and Spear book catalogs.</p>"}
