This dissertation asserts that institutions indigenous to the African diaspora facilitate transnational exchanges between black social movements by encouraging organizations and activists to identify with each other across national boundaries. Using the research methods of content analysis, in-depth interview and archival research, this project focuses on exchanges of ideas and tactics between the Black Panther Party, Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and African independence movements in Algeria, Congo, Ghana, Guinea and South Africa that were facilitated by the black press, black institutions of higher learning and emancipated spaces. Through its comparative, interdisciplinary approach that unites literatures concerning social movements, race, ethnicity and politics and the African diaspora, "I Used the Term 'Negro' and I was Firmly Corrected" enhances our understanding of transnational relationships between social movements, the roles that indigenous institutions play in fostering racial solidarity and the relationship between identity and protest in historically marginalized communities.

Using the research methods of content analysis, in-depth interview and archival research, this project focuses on exchanges of ideas and tactics between the Black Panther Party, Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and African independence movements in Algeria, Congo, Ghana, Guinea and South Africa that were facilitated by the black press, black institutions of higher learning and emancipated spaces.

520 # $a This project theorizes that, in three ways, institutions indigenous to the African diaspora foster the mutual identification between organizations and activists that social movement theorists agree is necessary for transnational exchanges between social movements. First, indigenous institutions devote their resources to gathering and sharing information about social movement organizations and activists throughout the diaspora. Second, these institutions filter this information through their communities' master injustice frames, which I define as the philosophies, narratives and actions that historically marginalized communities most consistently utilize over time to articulate their subjugation as unjust and build intra-group solidarity. Third, they authenticate the claims and work of black social movements in other countries that are consistent with the parameters of their communities' master injustice frames. This theory draws on the social movement literature's conception of cross-national social movement diffusion; debates in the race, ethnicity and politics literature about the roles that indigenous institutions play in the struggles of historically marginalized communities and historical accounts of transnational relationships found in the study of the African diaspora.
