“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.
