The
Ligal organisation
Ligali
(pronounced lee-ga-lee) is the African British* Equality
Authority. We are a Human Rights organisation that
challenges the misrepresentation of African people
and culture in the British media. Our remit is to
actively campaign for cultural, economic, political
and social justice on behalf of the African community.
Ligali is a non profit voluntary organisation. Through
investigation and monitoring, we aim to challenge,
identify and recommend workable solutions to current
social issues that refuse to recognise the equal and
inalienable rights of African people in the UK. Our
main objectives are to turn talk into action and apathy
into productivity.
*African
British is the term now used to describe the community
previously mislabelled as Afro Caribbean, Black British,
UK Black, Coloured and Black. It embraces all British
nationals with antecedents originating directly from
Africa or indirectly via African diasporic communities,
such as those in the Caribbean and South America.

Insaka
Movement for Africanisation
Insaka
is a registered Charitable Company, created by and
for Africans for the purpose of advancing African
self-determination. We are part of an African worldwide
movement toward African self-determination, but more
specifically, our aim as an organisation is to encourage
and facilitate Africanisation. Africanisation involves
embracing and promoting African culture, moving away
from the so-called ‘ghetto’, ‘black’
or ‘urban’ cultures which are products
of slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism. The embracing
and promotion of African culture includes everything
from language, the arts and clothes, to food, religion,
co-operative economics and other social values, especially
family values. Africanisation reduces cultural repression,
low expectations, poverty, apathy, family breakdown
and anti-social behaviour among people of African
ancestry.
