Council on African Affairs : ウィキペディア英語版 | Council on African Affairs The Council on African Affairs (CAA), until 1941 called the International Committee on African Affairs (ICAA), was a volunteer organization founded in 1937. It emerged as the leading voice of anti-colonialism and Pan-Africanism in the United States and internationally before Cold War anti-communism and liberalism created too much strife among members 1955.〔Duberman, Martin, "The Apex of Fame", ''Paul Robeson'', 1989, pp. 284-285.〕 The split was also precipitated by co-founder Max Yergan's abandonment of left-wing politics and his subsequent advocacy on behalf of colonial rule in Africa.〔 ==Founding members== Paul Robeson served as the CAA's chairman for most of its existence while W. E. B. Du Bois served as vice-chair and head of the Africa Aid Committee. Activist Max Yergan, who taught at the City College of New York (until 1941), was its first Executive Director. Alphaeus Hunton Jr. (1903-1970), an assistant professor in the English and Romance Languages department at Howard University, joined the CAA in 1943 as its Educational Director. He was also made its Executive Director, after the resignation of Yergan. Hunton was the editor of the CAA publication, New Africa, and the primary force behind much of the CAA's activity and vision.〔〔Johanna Selles, ("The Hunton Family: A Narrative of Faith through Generations" ) (pdf).〕 Other pioneer members of the ICAA were Raymond Leslie Buell and Ralph J. Bunche. The CAA, from its beginning in 1941, received the support of mainstream activists and liberal intellectuals like Franz Boas, E. Franklin Frazier, record producer John H. Hammond, Mary McLeod Bethune (from the National Youth Administration) and Rayford Logan.〔〔Anthony, David Henry: ''Max Yergan: Race Man, Internationalist, Cold Warrior'', NYU Press, 2006, p. 212.〕
