From July 16th to July 22nd The Black Archives will organize a special summer course on Black Radical Thought with dr. Tony Bogues.

In November 2017 The Black Archives opened its first exhibition “Black & Revolutionary”: the story of Hermina and Otto Huiswoud”. Otto, born to an enslaved woman in Suriname, and Hermina from British-Guyana departed for the United States at a young age. They soon found themselves in politically active circles in the vibrant Harlem borough of Manhattan. Otto became the only black co-founder of the American Communist Party. Hermina soon became active in black and radical circles as well. Together the couple travelled all around the world. Their work as professional revolutionaries took them to New York, Moscow, Jamaica and South Africa. They eventually settled in Amsterdam and became active at the association Vereniging Ons Suriname. This is where the summer course will take place. 

Black emancipation in the Netherlands
The life of the Huiswouds connected them to an international network of radical black thinkers, writers and activists, such as Anton de Kom, Sylvia Winter, C.L.R. James, W.E.B. Du Bois, Angela Davis, Franz Fanon and others. The story of the Huiswouds shows that there has been a long tradition of black emancipation and political organizing in the Netherlands. During the summer course we will delve into the work of these black radical thinkers.

Participants will need to read some of the work of these black radical thinkers. Every day we will have discussions from 6.30 to 9 PM. In the weekend of July 21st participants will present a product based on the work at our Books, Art and BBQ Festival. The end product can be an essay, a spoken word piece, a short film or something else.
