Black AmoricaivLod Group Joins African Chamber of Commorco The Continental Africa Chamber of Commerce USA, a group whose board of directors consists largely of prominent black j Americans, has agreed to join a federation of, African chambers of commerce to promote trade and economic development between Africa and the United States. Ohene'Darko, presi dent and chief executive officer of the; Washington-based Chamber, said the, federation of African chambers of commerce, will also encouragej African governments and businessmen to do business with the black community in the United States. The initial agreement to form the federation, which will also be called the Continental Africa Chamber of Commerce or CACC, was signed by Darko and F. N. Macharia, chairman of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce during the recent con ference of the Organiza tion of African Unity (OAU) held in Nairobi in July. The CACC led by Darko in the United States will be an affiliate of the African federa tion: Macharia has offered the Kenya Chamber of fices as headquarters for the sixteen countries that will, make up the ,East African region of the CACC. According to Darko, founder and chief architect of the federation, the CACC will also establish regions; in West Africa, North' Africa and South West' Africa.

Directors of the US-I based group consists1 largely of prominent black Americans, in cluding ; Dr. 4 Asa Spaulding, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Percy Sut ton,. John Johnson, Malcolm Corrin of , the interracial Council for Business Opportunity, Attorney , Samuel Jackson, Mayor Col eman Young of Detroit, George . Johnson and entertainer Issac Hayes.
