jan 1, 1900 - The Birth of Pan-Africanism (1900 CE)

Description:

The Pan-African movement formally began with the First Pan-African Conference in London in 1900, organized by Henry Sylvester Williams, a Trinidadian lawyer and activist. This event brought together intellectuals and activists of African descent from across the globe to discuss the shared struggles of colonized and oppressed African peoples. It laid the ideological foundation for future efforts to unite Africans worldwide in the fight against racism, colonialism, and exploitation. Pan-Africanism would later inspire leaders like Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta in their quests for independence and continental unity.
