Bob Brown

Slavery and the Slave Trade Were and Are Crimes Against Humanity! A Model Freedom of Information Guide: Who, Where, What, When and Why is a compilation of 32 historic and precedent-setting Freedom of Information Act and State Open Records Act Requests by Bob Brown, co-director of Pan-African Roots, to:

Mr Ed Gillespie and the Republican National Comittee; President George W. Bush; Mr Terry McAuliffe and the Democratic National Committee; Senator John Kerry, Mr Ralph Nader and other Presedential candidates; Secretary of State Colin Powell; Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; Treasury Secretary John Snow; Attorney General John Ashcroft; Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Mr John Carlin Director of the National Archives.

King Juan Carlos V and the Kingdom of Spain; Governor Jeb Bush and Florida; President Vicente Fox and Mexico; Governor Rick Perry and Texas; President Jacques Chirac and the French Republic; Govenor Kathleen Blanco and Louisiana; Queen Elizabeth II and Great Britain; Prime Minister Paul Martin and Canada; Govenor Mark Warner and Virginia; Governor James H. Douglas and Vermont; Governor Rod Blagojevich and Illinois.

These Requests demand the release of historical and current records that will prove that slavery, the slave-trade, slave-like conditions and practices, colonialism, segregation and apartheid were and are crimes against humanity. They will help define the stages in teh development of the 569-year historical and continuing Maafa (the African Holocaust), and of the unyielding struggle against it. These records will document who the Maafa's victims were and are; who committed these crimes, which were and are the greatest theft of land, lives and labour in human history; and who was and continues to be unjustly enriched.

This book is one of the most provocative works to appear in our generation. It will be studied and debated on campuses and in the Movement for decades to come.
