“A Growing Organization in the Struggle for African Liberation” Over the years, NCOBPS has initiated a number of programs and partnerships designed to expand the organization's intellectual and institutional breadth.
NCOBPS formally established, “The Race and Democracy in the Americas Project,” a collaborative research program with Afro-Brazilian scholars. Co-sponsored conferences were held on racial politics in the United States and Brazil. The National Political Science Review, Volume 9: 2003, features select articles from this project. [SEE RACE AND DEMOCRACY PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS AND PROJECT MEMBERS] In 2004, NCOBPS established an organizational affiliation with the African Association of Political Scientists (AAPS). In 2006, NCOBPS established a partnership with the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP). In 2008, NCOBPS created the Katrina Task Force and published its the first report, “The Katrina Tragedy: The Case of New Orleans,” Volume 1: 2008 NCOBPS also maintains linkages with related organizations, both within and outside of the academy.
