Philadelphia: Christian Education Press, (1954). A book by this pioneering African-American clergyman and humanitarian, born in poverty in Tennessee but who became an influential leader in the United States and also in advocating independence for African nations. This book focuses on his meetings with leaders in Africa, East Germany and Asia, and the twin revolutions of nationalism and communism (while never a Communist, he was called up before the House Committee on Un-American Activities to refute suspicions that he harbored communist sympathies, suspicions based in part on comments he made in this book) After his tour of Africa, he suggested the church focus on practical aid for the continent, by sending doctors, engineers and other professionals, rather than missionaries. He is best known as the founder of Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA), a cross-cultural exchange program considered a forerunner of the Peace Corps.He also organized Harlem's Morningside Community Center, cofounded the African Academy of Arts and Research, and much more.
