The Pan African Resource Project is pleased to announce that we are accepting campus booking for our Fall Academic Term 2001 Pan African University Lecture series. We can provide you the opportunity to book progressive, insightful speakers, with first hand knowledge of the struggles for justice and development in Africa, the Caribbean and North America (USA and Canada). Included among our speakers are history makers such as Sister Teodora Gomes of the struggle in Guinea-Bissau, Brother Ismael Rashid from Sierra Leone and many others. (Contact us for a complete list. See contact list below for the rep in your area.) We urge your group to sponsor a presenters from the Pan African University Lecture series on your campus, it could well be your organizing advantage. Undoubtedly, as college students, you have been exposed to mainstream ideas of the existing social order that are communicated to you in the classroom; at programs where special guests have been invited to speak; in textbooks and in official socio-cultural activities. These ideas are used to shape and mold your opinion about the problems and solutions confronting Africans and the other oppressed peoples of the world. However, history teaches us clearly that these ideas and perspectives emanating from the existing social order were not the source of inspiration for great leaders such as: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ahmed Sekou Toure, Omowale Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. W.E.B. DuBois; and so many others. Quite to the contrary, these great leaders were motivated by ideas that were a direct challenge to and came from outside the prevailing social order. This is wholly logical considering that African people have been struggling for freedom from the so-called "accepted social order" for over 500 years. The Pan-African Resource Project provides you with the means to sharpen your tools of analysis, and a way to effectively participate the progressive flow of history. It is your resource to keep you informed about the changing events in the world today from Southern Africa to North America, Palestine, Eastern Europe, Central America and beyond. Most important, the Pan-African Resource Project summons you to become an active agent in setting the material conditions for progressive and positive change. IDEAS MUST BE EXPLORED, NOT IGNORED! Our lecture series is year-round programming were we offer regional, national and international speakers from the wide spectrum of the African world; as well as insightful speakers from amongst the indigenous people of North America, and from Palestine. You can also avail yourself of our comprehensive audio-visual tape library of historical and current events chronicling African people's global struggle for freedom, justice, liberation, unity and real social-economic development.
