Elombe
Brath is an activist who has championed the rights of African and Black
people for over 46 years. As producer and host of "Afrikaleidoscope," a
public affairs program on WBAI and consultant on African affairs at "Like
It Is," WABC-TV, for 17 years, Mr. Brath has brought in-depth coverage on
African issues and interviews with African and Caribbean heads of state,
national liberation movement leaders, and internationally renowned
cultural personalities and icons. Mr. Brath's activism dates back to 1956,
when he co-founded the African Jazz-Art Society & Studios (AJASS), a jazz
concert series and cultural and political forum to discuss the
exploitation of Black people. In 1975, he co-founded the Patrice Lumumba
Coalition (PLC), to support Angolans' right to self-determination and
became involved in domestic and local struggles over healthcare and
political prisoners. In the 1980s, he helped found the Unity in Action
Network which pressured artists who had violated the UN cultural boycott
on South Africa to apologize and cease their violation. During the 1990s,
Mr. Brath worked with the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid and the
UN Commission on Namibia, traveling under their auspices to Portugal,
Canada, Guyana, and South Africa, and was invited to join a team of
international monitors for the first non-apartheid election in South
Africa in 1994. Mr. Brath served as the co-chair and moderator of a Harlem
reception for Nelson Mandela in 1990, attended by over 200,000 people, and
was the moderator for a reception for President Fidel Castro of Cuba at
the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. He attended the historic
7th Pan-African Congress in Uganda and the U.N. Conference Against Racism,
Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerances. He has led
delegations to the Republic of Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC). His delegation's report on the DRC was made into a
documentary and broadcast on radio and television, becoming the subject of
several New York community forums. Mr. Brath has presented forums in
Harlem and other Black communities to demonstrate similarities between the
African-American struggle and those of other peoples of color from around
the world, who receive little attention from mainstream media. As a Revson
Fellow, Mr. Brath will study international affairs, media, political
science, and world history in order to enhance his capacity as a leader
and educator.
