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 great God endows His children variously. To some he gives intellect—and they move the earth. To some he allots heart—and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs. But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence—and these, who never grow up, but remain always His children, are God’s fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from His palette the Artist of all had taken one color instead of many.”
—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)
