Greetings:

An additional link which details the historic 1956 Congress of Black Writers and Artists is from the Dubois Institute at Harvard.

Please note that the delegates from the US were:

Horace Mann Bond*
M. Cook
J.A. Davis
William Fontaine*
James Ivy*
Richard Wright*

An American who wrote a note of regrets was Joséphine Bouillon. We of course know her and still love her as Josephine Baker.
