The conference focused on the them of Africanist and black revolutionary nationalist. The East’s Jitu Weusi and other African-American activist attended the conference. Burnham envisioned cooperative agricultural businesses as the best solution to ending capitalist exploitation and supporting economic independence for a nation like Guyana that consisted of a majority of lower caste citizens. It had been this pronouncement and the start of executing it that made Guyana a model for the East’s in terms of an alternative food system.
