The New York Coalition to Support African Liberation was the brainchild of Elombe Brath (1937-
2014), a Harlem resident. He worked as a graphic artist and served as a consultant on African affairs
to the late Gil Noble, who hosted the New York-based TV show “Like It Is.” Brath was also a pro-
ducer on WBAI, the New York station of Pacifica Radio, and his show had a large listenership of
progressives and activists.
