Pan-African Congress

The Pan-African Congress refers to a series of meetings held since the late 19th century aimed at promoting unity and cooperation among African nations and people of African descent worldwide. These congresses addressed issues like colonialism, racism, and social justice, fostering a sense of shared identity and community. Advocates sought to empower Africans and assert their rights. The first congress was in 1900, and others followed in the 20th century, influencing movements for independence and civil rights across the globe. Today, the legacy of the Pan-African Congress continues to inspire efforts for solidarity and development in Africa and its diaspora.
