The New Afrikan State Documents collection contains texts from the Republic of New Afrika (RNA) and the Provisional Government of the Republic of New Afrika (PGRNA), spanning from the movement's founding in 1968 to the present day. These documents articulate the political philosophy, legal framework, and ongoing nation-building vision of the New Afrikan independence movement.
About This Collection
The Republic of New Afrika was founded in 1968 as an effort to establish an independent New Afrikan nation in the southeastern United States. This collection includes both foundational historical documents and contemporary materials from the PGRNA, including:
- Founding documents - The declaration of independence and constitutional framework
- Ideological texts - Essays and manifestos outlining New Afrikan political philosophy
- Organizational documents - Codes, oaths, and creeds that define New Afrikan citizenship and governance
- Strategic analyses - Theoretical works on revolution, nation-building, and self-determination
- Current communications - Contemporary statements and communiques from the PGRNA
These materials represent primary sources for understanding the RNA/PGRNA's historical development and contemporary activities in pursuit of New Afrikan self-determination, cooperative economics (Ujamaa), and territorial sovereignty.
Historical Context
The Republic of New Afrika was declared on March 31, 1968, in Detroit, Michigan, claiming five states of the Deep South (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina) as the national territory of New Afrikans (descendants of enslaved Africans in America). The PGRNA continues to function as the governmental structure working toward the establishment of this independent nation.
Digitization Project
This collection is part of an ongoing effort to preserve and make accessible the documentary heritage of the New Afrikan independence movement, both historical and contemporary. Documents are being digitized and transcribed to ensure their availability for researchers, activists, and those interested in Black liberation movements. </mediawiki>
