The United States and the Development of African Leaders, 1964

The United States and the Development of African Leaders, 1964

In May of 1964, the conference “Africa: Training for Leadership” took place and was addressed by William Averell Harriman, the former governor of New York and the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs. In his address, Mr. Harriman described how the US was interested in improving relations with African nations that had gotten their independence a couple of years earlier. The document was found in Dymally’s files and indicate that it may have been given to him in preparation for a trip to Africa that he was planning in the same year.
