{"value"=>"<p>This series focuses on Africa's economic and political stability over a thirty years period from the 1970s through 2007. Current events were documented through articles, correspondence, and other printed matter. Nigeria is the most documented. There are files present about agriculture, economic development, languages, and elections. The files include rare examples of flyers and leaflets distributed by the many political parties who sought to win elections.</p> <p>Herskovits' research included the economic dynamics between Nigeria, European countries, and the United States. Several of the files focus on Nigeria's oil production and natural gas distribution and the country's relationship with other African nations, European nations, and the United States. The files also include Herskovits' testimonies before the United States Congress regarding Africa.</p> <p>The files also hold some information about the impact of AIDS in Africa, educational development, migrants to Nigeria, and various coup attempts. Most of Herskovits' original folder titles were retained, but some were updated to more accurately describe the content.</p>"}
