The Imari Abubakari Obadele Papers are an autobiographical manuscript covering events in Dr. Obadele's life until 1971. Much of the material is devoted to making an argument for reparations, namely the formation of a separate state in the American Deep South. The author also places forth an argument justifying violent resistance to oppression. The author writes of several major events, organizations, and people involved in the Civil Rights movement. These include: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, the NAACP, the Republic of New Africa, the Black Legion, and the 1967 Detroit Riots.
