 This idea came to me while dining with ABPsi President-Elect Mary Hargrow and Professor Rebecca Amin of the University of Yaounde in Cameroon.  We were dining “family style,” sharing a large platter of grilled fish, chicken, plantains, and all the trimmings, in a restaurant favored by locals in Yaounde last month.  (Dr. Hargrow and I represented The ABPsi at a traditional healers’ conference on HIV/AIDS.)

 We can think of the resources of the world as a bountiful harvest, a scrumptious dinner prepared for the people of the world.  There is more than enough to go around.  God places the food in the middle of the table for all to share and share alike.  But one guest decides he is going to grab 90% of the food for himself.  His rationale?  “I got here first, my might makes it right, and if you don’t like it, I’ll kill you.”  The rest of the world is left scrambling for scraps, so many go hungry.

 And so it is in the contemporary global economy.  One set of guests at the table has usurped the majority of the earth’s resources for their own private and selfish benefit.  The many millions who are literally starving to death reveal that this taking of too much is immoral.  That a correction of this mal-distribution of resources is mandated, by any means necessary, is easy to see.

 Cameroon is a beautiful country with lush hillsides, beautiful people, and a history that is thousands of years old.  Yet, Cameroon remains under the colonial thumb of France (primarily) and England.  France continues to take the raw resources, principally timber and oil (the depletion of the natural resources is as unplanned as it is rapacious, thus mortgaging the future environment of Cameroon for many generations).  France continues to reap riches from Cameroon, leaving poverty in its wake.

 One would have to suffer from economic amnesia to think that European wealth was earned.  It was (and is) stolen.  We must renew our revolutionary spirit to restore African sovereignty, dignity, and material well-being.

Come to the historic campus of Fisk University for the midyear meeting of the General Assembly.  The General Assembly is one of the “working arms” of the ABPsi.  All members in good standing are warmly welcome to attend and contribute to the mission of the ABPsi.  All Chapters are strongly encouraged to send at least two representatives to ensure that every chapter has full participation in the future direction of the ABPsi.  As has been our tradition, the ABPsi Student Circle has been invited to convene their meeting at the same time and place.

Hotel arrangements are made with Hampton Inn-Vanderbilt, just a few miles from our meeting site.  Rooms are $89.00 single/double occupancy.  Please call early to reserve your space.  Code: ABPsi .  Toll free: 1-888-880-5394 or 615-329-1144.

Mission Statement of The ABPsi’s General Assembly (from The ABPsi By Laws):  The General Assembly has a major role in initiating, deliberating and recommending for Board approval those programmatic and supportive functions which The Association should perform.  As such, the General Assembly provides the human resources for The Association's working committees and other ad hoc bodies designed for policy study or implementation.  The General Assembly serves and reports to The Association's Board.  All activities of the General Assembly must conform to the goals and objectives of The Association, and must adhere to the Ethical Standards of Black Psychologists.  All programmatic activities with a fiscal impact must have prior approval by The Association's Board.

This is a dynamic opportunity to network with professionals from various disciplines and students from all parts of the nation.  To ALL STUDENTS that have never met with the Student Circle in January, please challenge yourself to take the next step.  To ALL STUDENTS that have met with us before, invite a fellow classmate and encourage him or her to join you at the meeting.  To ALL PROFESSIONALS and ALL ABPsi CHAPTERS, share this information with a student and consider assisting them in any way possible to attend this meeting.

Hotel accommodations have been arranged with a nearby facility, the Hampton Inn-Vanderbilt.  The room rate is $89.00 per night.  Reservations should be made directly with the hotel by using the code – ABP at 1-888-880-5394 (toll free number) or 1-615-329-1144.  Reservations made by December 12, 2000 are guaranteed at their special rate.

I want to thank you, the membership of The ABPsi, for electing me President-Elect for 2000-2001 and to ask for your support in helping the BOD to envision and carry forth the work of The Association.  I also want to apologize to the vast majority of members for not sending out a special request back in May-June asking for your support at that time–your vote for me as president-elect.  That was my intention, but the information to make that desire a reality was not available to me. [I had access only to the e-mail addresses on the ABPsi listserve and a few telephone numbers.]  I wanted to ask for your support before embarking on this journey because I knew then as I know now, that without it, the organization will become stagnant and lifeless.

I have now been elected as one of your leaders, and in this position at this time, in a very loud and resounding voice that I hope will vibrate relentlessly through your consciousness, I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.  This is my third time serving on the National BOD, and it is an honor to be back again.  The work that we need to embrace for people of African ancestry and the world is compelling.  It will take collective work to reverse any one of the painful currently existing scenarios born out of centuries of exploitation and neglect.  And it will also take collective work to repeat those scenarios that have succeeded in bringing brighter, more joyous, and hopeful times into our lives and the lives of African ancestry people and others worldwide.  The ABPsi must be a leading architect in designing the template for this global collective work. We must continue to move forward with our work in a more systematic way and with the committed involvement of a much larger group of workers even in the face of our limited time and/or resources which is a struggle for most if not all of us.  Let us all be guided by the question, “If not us, WHO”?   I believe that we are moving in the right direction as long as we remain open to and tolerant of many voices.

As President-Elect, one of my duties is to work with the Committees of the Board of Directors (BOD).  In The ABPsi, as you know, there are two sets of committees – those of the General Assembly (GA) who report to the chairperson of the GA, and those of the BOD, who report to the President-Elect.  The committees of the BOD are primarily standing committees that are responsible for the internal structure necessary for the functioning of The Association – for maintaining, strengthening, and expanding the organizational infrastructure.  The GA committees carry out the work of the Board that relates to the organization’s purpose or reason for being/for existing.  Without the proper functioning of the former, The Association cannot and will not exist – it will dissolve.  And without the functioning of the latter, there is no reason for it to exist – there is no operating purpose.

Both sets of committees are important and both need committed workers for The Association’s viability.  At this time, the structure and infrastructure need a lot of support to make and keep The ABPsi strong enough to address the ever expanding psychological and social needs of the local, national, and international communities of people of African ancestry and others.  President Young is working diligently and creatively on structural and infrastructure solutions as have many presidents before him.  We are working with him to establish procedures and processes so that what is done is protected, revised when needed, and built upon rather than being lost.  Many Boards before us have worked toward this goal.  Hence, we are trying to profit from the experiences of the past.  It is hard, tedious, expensive, and time intensive work.

To institutionalize – maintain and expand the gains that have been and are being made – requires a number of actions including careful and consistent monitoring.  Committed committee members, consistent committee work, and regular documentation/reports are needed for these tasks.  Because of the nature of the BOD committee jobs, it is beneficial to have members with specific skills, experiences, and expertise on the committees.  I will list the committee names and co-chairs, and ask those with qualifications that a committee needs, to please volunteer and work on that committee.  Communicate your desire to your chapter chair, regional representative, or directly to the committee co-chairs and/or to me.  The co-chairs will make the final decisions.  I will ask that your work be acknowledged at the local and regional levels as well as at the national level.  If you know a member with the needed expertise, recommend her/him, and encourage them to serve.  PLEASE JOIN A COMMITTEE TODAY AND BECOME AN ACTIVE AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBER.

 Much of the social, economic and political history of the descendants of Africans enslaved in the United States is rooted in two opposing forces:  this group’s efforts to claim their piece of the American pie and the denial of this claim by counter groups through the use of laws, customs and political actions.  African Americans’ struggle for land ownership is at the center of this dynamic.  In the film, Homecoming, Charlene Gilbert explores connections between land ownership, historical events, and African American identity.  The result is a rich tapestry that interweaves the major themes of African American history with the personal experiences of Gilbert’s family in Montezuma, Georgia.  The story presented is every African American’s story whether she lives in a small southern farming community, on the west side of Chicago, in bustling Los Angeles, or down by the Mississippi in Memphis.  The film connects historical events to the experiences of a family that could easily be anybody’s family.

 A central thesis of Homecoming is that enslaved Africans were an agrarian people who over a period of 200 years developed a unique culture in the United States.  An integral part of this culture is the importance of having a place of one’s own or in other words, being independent, not existing in a condition of helplessness.  This value was a prime motivator for the first two generations after emancipation.  By 1920, African Americans owned 15 million acres of land in the United States.  This is a landmass equal in size to West Virginia.  The acquisition of this land was the result of hard work, savvy money management, and perseverance.  When African Americans left the South in the Great Migration during the first half of the twentieth century, they unsuccessfully tried to transplant this culture in the asphalt canyons of industrial cities.  Gilbert, like a cadre of contemporary scholars and artists, is about bridging the psychological chasm separating the present from this part of the past.

 Homecoming, to a large extent, focuses on Warren James, one of a steadily vanishing breed of young African American farmers.  It is honest, hardworking, smart, family oriented Warren who provides the linkage to today’s challenge of African Americans acquiring an equity base.  Warren is a modern farmer.  He farms hundreds of acres of land.  He uses an irrigation system.  His business is computerized.  He plows with an air-conditioned tractor.  Yet, he and other African American farmers are grappling with the denial of operating loans by the machinery of the United States Department of Agriculture. Thus, Homecoming is a symbol of what once appeared to have been lost, African Americans tie to the land and the tie between the past and the present.

CALL FOR PAPERS:  The 27th Annual Symposium, "Technology and Development in Africa", April 25th-28th, 2001.  Center for African Studies and College of Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.  In cooperation with the African Academy of Sciences.  Theme:  The theme of this Symposium is "Technology and Development in Africa."  Special emphasis will be placed on the development and progress of information technology and biotechnology. These rapidly advancing technologies have had and will continue to have significant impacts on economic, social, and political life all over the world. This symposium will look at the promise and significance of these technologies as well as their relationships to development in Africa, and participants will explore the ways in which African societies engage these processes.  Description:  Progress in the development of science and technology over the last half of the twentieth century was explosive and very impressive. The early signs for the new Millennium are that this trend will continue unabated. New technologies including information technology, biotechnology, materials technology, and nanotechnology are being developed at breath-taking speed and their impact on the quality of everyday life is growing daily and becoming pervasive. Indeed, the development and adoption of technology have become important factors of economic growth and social change. Whereas developed countries are making massive investments and commitments to technology development, most developing countries, including many in Africa, are largely unable to do the same. Generally, these countries do not seem to be benefiting from many of the new technologies, and they have been unable to harness technologies that might alleviate enduring problems of hunger, malnutrition, and disease. What are some of the reasons for this? What can be done to change this situation?  Given the technological developments, how are African scientists, politicians, and policy makers involved and directing their efforts and intellect to designing innovative and effective policies to transform the socio-economic environments of African countries? Clearly, African countries need to invest in and mobilize science and technology more than they have in the past if the continent is not to be left further behind the rest of the world in its socio-economic development.  This Symposium, sponsored by the Center for African Studies and the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in cooperation with the African Academy of Sciences, will endeavor to bring technical experts in the sciences, engineering, and humanities together with politicians and policy makers from Africa and around the world to deliberate on the role of technology in African development. Special emphasis will be paid to information technology and biotechnology and their impact on education, business, governance, health, environment, and agriculture.  Topics: Information Technology and its Impact on:  Education, Business & Industry, Telecommunications, Agriculture, Energy Resources, Politics and Governance, Gender Issues; Biotechnology and its Impact on:  Genomics & Implications for Medicine, Environment, Agriculture & Food Safety and Security, Strategies & Structures for Cooperation, Inter-African Collaborations, Inter-Agency Support for Research & Development in Africa.  Participation:  Scientists, engineers, social scientists, and policy makers will be invited. The Symposium will foster understanding and collaboration by supporting interdisciplinary exchange and dialogue among academicians, practitioners, and policy makers. Participants from Africa and other parts of the world are encouraged.  Abstracts submitted should be no more than one page long or up to 400 words. Electronic submissions are encouraged. DEADLINE:  Submit Abstracts by:  November 15, 2000.  CONTACT:  Center for African Studies, 210 International Studies Bldg., 910 S. Fifth Street, Champaign, Illinois 61820, U.S.A.  Phone: 217-333-6335, Fax: 217-244-2429, E-mail: african@uiuc.edu, Web: www.afrst.uiuc.edu.

“The worst mistake you can make is to think that the African has a sick mind that needs psychological attention or psychiatric healing.  The African does not have sick mind; he has frustrations and anger, resulting from the failure of his post-independence revolution of rising material expectations.  We must situate the true causes of this failure, not in abstract theories on human behavior or in idealistic models of development but in a scientific, realistic analysis of the objective, structural conditions in which Africans have been struggling to build their new nations.”
His Excellency J.J. Rawlings
