Title A name given to the resource photo of George Houser, American Committee on Africa Description An account of the resource This is a 1973 photo of George Houser as the founder of the founder and Executive Director of the American Committee on Africa (ACOA). The ACOA was founded in 1953 to support the liberation struggle in Africa against colonialism and apartheid. It grew out of the earlier "Americans for South African Resistance". Houser and the ACOA led anti-apartheid campaigns in the United States as early as the 1950's. According to William Minter, PhD, "For three decades, from the early 1950s through the 1970s, George Houser was the American name most familiar to leaders of African liberation movements seeking sympathetic contacts in the unfamiliar and generally unsympathetic context of Cold War America." * The ACOA itself was a second home to many of the earlier CORE leaders who left CORE in the 1960's, including James Robinson, Wendell Foster, James Farmer, Marvin Rich and Annie Page King, a former secretary at the national CORE office. Through the ACOA, Houser, Foster and Robinson were able to develop relationships and work close with many African heads of state, including Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, and Oliver Tambo. * http://www.noeasyvictories.org/interviews/int02_houser.php Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived http://africanactivist.msu.edu/image.php?objectid=32-131-315 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available American Committee on Africa collection, Amistad Research Center Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1973 american committee on africa civil rights movement congress of racial equality core george houser https://corenyc.org/omeka/files/original/969fd77157d96be16e8f0f09cbee6a33.jpg af560b3e5b21ee15665a39d2c8ec67ba Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource photo of CORE member Wendell Foster Description An account of the resource This is a mid 1960's photo of CORE member Wendell Foster. Although he did not consider himself a member of any chapter, he was especially involved with New York CORE going back as far as the mid 1940's. Most notably, he played a central role in the Pallisades Park demonstrations of 1947-48. In 1965, he became the associate director for the American Committee on Africa and worked along side CORE founding members George Houser and James Robinson. According to Foster, it was Robinson who was more responsible than anyone else for him first becoming a member of CORE.
