The Black Liberation Movement supported and extended the influence of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) within the African-American community. Organizations like the Black Panthers and the Black Liberation Army had very similar goals as the A-APRP. Working on college campuses and in local communities, The Black Liberation Movement and the A-APRP educated and recruited their cadre from amongst the revolutionary African American and Black Power organizations

The melding of Black nationalism and pan-Africanism led to the first of the African Liberation Days celebrations and political organizing. This political organizing led directly to the 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana. The convention was perhaps the most important political, cultural, and intellectual gathering of the Black Power era. The success of the second African Liberation Day led to the establishment of a permanent political organizing committee -- the African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC). The ALSC served as both a pro-Africa lobby and a national educational and community organizing group.

The FBI labeled both of the ALSC and A-APRP as subversive in the early 1970s and began an extensive surveillance campaign. The U.S. State Department provided additional surveillance assistance in re to Americans traveling to and from Africa.
