Search Help

How does this work?
There are many ways to search the collections of the Freedom Archives. Below is a brief guide that will help you conduct effective searches. Note, anytime you search for anything in the Freedom Archives, the first results that appear will be our digitized items. Information for items that have yet to be scanned or yet to be digitized can still be viewed, but only by clicking on the show link that will display the hidden (non-digitized) items. If you are interested in accessing these non-digitized materials, please email info@freedomarchives.org.
Exploring the Collections without the Search Bar
Under the heading Browse By Collection, you’ll notice most of the Freedom Archives’ major collections. These collections have an image as well as a short description of what you’ll find in that collection. Click on that image to instantly explore that specific collection.
Basic Searching
You can always type what you’re looking for into the search bar. Certain searches may generate hundreds of results, so sometimes it will help to use quotation marks to help narrow down your results. For instance, searching for the phrase Black Liberation will generate all of our holdings that contain the words Black and Liberation, while searching for “Black Liberation” (in quotation marks) will only generate our records that have those two words next to each other.
Advanced Searching
The Freedom Archives search site also understands Boolean search logic. Click on this link for a brief tutorial on how to use Boolean search logic. Our search function also understands “fuzzy searches.” Fuzzy searches utilize the (*) and will find matches even when users misspell words or enter in only partial words for the search. For example, searching for liber* will produce results for liberation/liberate/liberates/etc.
Keyword Searches
You’ll notice that under the heading KEYWORDS, there are a number of words, phrases or names that describe content. Sometimes these are also called “tags.” Clicking on these words is essentially the same as conducting a basic search.

Call Number: AFR 057Format: Cass A & BProducers: WBAIProgram: WBAI Special Premium: Spirits of the Passage with John Henrik ClarkeCollection: Africa- General Resources
Historian John Henrik Clarke speaks on spirituality and the history of Islam in Africa. He speaks about how organized religion has spread at the hand of conquerors, and Muslim Africans have been blinded to the wrongs done to their fellow Africans in the name of Islam. He talks about how East and West Africa have been Islamized by Arabs and Islamized Africans, and that nothing good for Africa comes out of outside influences. Quote: “Everything that touches your life must be converted into an instrument for your liberation, or thrown into the ash can of history.” Clarke proceeds to give a history of the Muslims, Islam, and Christianity in Africa. Taking a negative view on the Islamic religion, he also asserts that Europeans took control of Christianity and other religions. Quote: “Europeans don’t know fractions even to this day. One fourth, one half - they want it all.” Side B is extremely muffled and unintelligible.
