African Civilization Society

The African Civilization Society was an organization founded in the late 19th century that aimed to promote pride, unity, and dignity among people of African descent. It focused on advocating for the recognition of Africa’s rich history and cultural contributions, encouraging racial pride, and fighting against discrimination and inequality. The society also sought to improve education, social conditions, and political rights for African Americans and Africans. Its efforts helped to foster a sense of identity and empowerment during a time of widespread racial prejudice and oppression.
