ABSTRACT
The unconditional affirmation of African culture has succeeded the unconditional affirmation of European culture. The African Society will become the cultural society of the black world and will come to include the Negro dispersion, that is to say the tens of thousands of black people spread over the American continents. During the first congress of the African Cultural Society which was held in Paris in 1956, the American Negroes of their own accord considered their problems from the same standpoint as those of their African brothers. During the second congress of the African Cultural Society the American Negroes decided to create an American society for people of black cultures. The Negroes who live in the United States and in Central or Latin America in fact experience the need to attach themselves to a cultural matrix. Arab doctors and Arab poets speak to each other across the frontiers, and strive to create a new Arab culture and a new Arab civilization.
