Biographical History
The American Committee on Africa (ACOA) was formed in 1953 as the successor to Americans for South African Resistance, then a two-year-old group formed to support the campaign of nonviolent protests against apartheid led by the African National Congress. ACOA broadened the original scope to include anticolonial struggles throughout the continent. It worked on many fronts: monitoring racist stereotyping in the media; lobbying the State Department and United Nations to adopt anti-apartheid, anti-colonial, proliberation movement positions; developing campaigns for economic sanctions on minority governments; assisting African students to come to the U.S.; and publishing the monthly Africa Today magazine.
