TransAfrica Forum, with the assistance of the TransAfrica Forum Scholars Council, has launched “The Human Security Project.” The project aims to foster debate on a new inclusive framework for U.S. security policy and its implications for Africa and the African Diaspora, compatible with the emerging scholarly and international consensus on human security.

Please join TransAfrica Forum for the Progressive Vision in Action Awards Benefit Gala celebrating activism through art and culture. Honorees and special guests include Danny Glover, Wynton Marsalis, Susan L. Taylor, Chuck D, and Congresspersons Donald Payne and Maxine Waters. Join us as we acknowledge their success with issues related to Africa and the African Diaspora.

The next regular meeting of TransAfrica Forum's Arthur R. Ashe, Jr. Foreign Policy Library Readers' Corner book club will be held on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, featuring the book Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil by John Ghazvinian (2007, published by Harcourt, Orlando).
