Alfie Roberts' Legacy: The Alfie Roberts Institute
Named after Roberts, The Alfie Roberts Institute is an independent non-governmental organization based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, founded in 2001. The Alfie Roberts Institute expands upon Alfie Roberts' life work, and is home to a large collection of print and media materials primarily concerning Africa, the Caribbean, and their peoples.
In June 2005 The Alfie Roberts Institute launched its first publication, a book called "A View For Freedom: Alfie Roberts Speaks on the Caribbean, Cricket, Montreal, and C.L.R. James." The book is based on an extensive interview with Alfie Roberts conducted by David Austin in January 1995, over a year before Roberts died.

Famous quotes containing the words roberts and/or institute:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
