    Abstract
    Primarily, this study seeks to examine the means and effectiveness of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, African human and Peoples' rights organizations, and the government of the Gambia in their efforts to propagate the institutions and legal instruments of the African Human and Peoples' Rights System (AHPRS) in general and the rights and duties of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights in the country of The Gambia in particular since the Charter came into force in 1986. The work explores the history of the AHPRS from ancient conceptions of rights and duties within Classical Africa to its formal establishment in the 1980s and 1990s with emphasis placed on the particular political and social history of The Gambia. Further, the work presents and analyzes the work of three African human rights organizations operating within The Gambia and offers an Afrocentric critique of the promotion of the African Human and Peoples' Rights System.

      Introduction to the Festschrift in Honor of Henry J. Richardson III

      Ramji-Nogales, Jaya (2017)
      This article introduces a festschrift celebrating Professor Henry J. Richardson III for his many contributions to the field of international law, and in particular his analysis of the relationship between international law and African-Americans and Africans, including the anti-apartheid movement, development, and self-determination, as well as the international protection of human rights. The articles also reflect on his pioneering interpretation of international law through critical race theory and his central role in developing Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) theory. The festschrift volume begins with several articles that explore central themes of Professor Richardson‘s work: human rights, self-determination, intervention, the International Criminal Court and its relationship to Africa, and economic justice. These pieces draw foundations and inspiration from Professor Richardson‘s scholarship, offering rich analyses of cutting-edge contemporary issues and problems and original insights into potential solutions. The second group of articles focuses directly on Professor Richardson‘s scholarship, describing his substance, method, and genius. The final two articles describe Professor Richardson as a person: a pioneer, a man of integrity, and a race man.

      An Examination of How Archives Have Influenced the Telling of the Story of Philadelphia's Civil Rights Movement

      Bruggeman, Seth C., 1975-; Sly, Margery N.; Jenkins, Wilbert L., 1953- (Temple University. Libraries, 2011)
      This paper examines the way that history and the archive interact with an examination of the civil rights movement in Philadelphia in the 1960s. Lack of accessibility may detrimentally affect historians' analyses. This paper is an assessment of what both writers and archivists can do to help diminish oversights. Included is an investigation of the short-lived Black Coalition and the way the organization is represented in scholarship. How do the representations differ from the story the primary sources tell? Also examined is the relationship between Cecil B. Moore and Martin Luther King, Jr. What primary sources exist that illuminate their friendship? How has their friendship been portrayed in secondary works? The paper outlines the discovery of video footage of the two men and how this footage complicates widely-held perceptions of their association. Lastly, this thesis offers remedies to allow for greater accessibility of primary source documents, most notably the role of digitization within the archive. Included in these suggestions are analyses of existing digital initiatives and suggestions for future projects. Digitization initiatives may be the means by which to bridge the gap currently facing archivists and historians today.
