Anarchist People of Color is an anarchist/anti-authoritarian tendency created to address issues of race, anti-authoritarianism and people of color struggle politics within the context of anarchism), and to increase/create political (safe)space for people of color.
Founded by no one, APOC is inspired and influenced by such historical anarchists of color as Lucy Parsons, Ricardo Flores Magon, Praxedis Guerrero, Martin Sostre, and Luisa Capetillo.
APOC is not a centrally organized group, but a loosely organized network of individuals, collectives and cells. APOC has also been known to use such tactics/strategies as what they call APOC Blocs and tend to be direct action oriented.
APOC held its first (official) national conference on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, in 2003.
