In the course of time, however, it appeared that in the absence of an international footprint, the BAM would be short-lived and sovereignty sheer utopia. At this juncture myriad African-American singers, musicians, writers, poets, playwrights, and political activists like the Black Panthers, seized the opportunity to attend the First Pan-African Festival, organized and hosted in Algiers by the OAU chairperson, Houari Boumediene. Influenced by Algeria’s War of Independence; the meeting of Algeria’s Premier Ben Bella with Dr Martin Luther King in New York and W. E. Dubois in Accra, and by one of Algeria’s adoptive sons, Franz Fanon, they undertook, once in Algiers, to report on their quest and to highlight their respective contributions with the view to win social and historical international recognition.
