Pan-Africanism has been enriched in its development process, which is mainly manifested as follows: ① Advocating African countries to unite, get rid of the control of colonialism and imperialism, and strive for national independence, so as to achieve the goal of Africans ruling Africa; After the end of colonial rule, African countries should carry out political, economic and social reforms and establish a "pan-African Federation" or "United States of Africa"; ③ Efforts should be made to restore and develop African languages and cultures.
From 65438 to the 5th century, western colonialists plundered blacks on the African continent and sold them to the West Indies and all parts of America, making them slaves. For centuries, people of African descent living in the Western Hemisphere have suffered racial discrimination and colonial slavery. They demanded racial equality, freedom from oppression and the establishment of an autonomous government. 1900 In July, the first Pan-African Conference was held in London, attended by more than 30 black intellectuals from the United States, the West Indies and Africa, which became the prelude to the struggle for black unity all over the world. Pan-Africanism came into being as a political trend of thought.
The Pan-African Congress led by du bois, an outstanding figure of early Pan-Africanism, an American black leader and scholar, held four Pan-African Congresses in Paris, London, Lisbon and new york from 19 19 to 1927. At previous congresses, delegates emphasized that Africans should enjoy political autonomy. The "Back to Africa" movement led by Jamaican black leader Garvey put forward the slogan "Africa is Africa for Africans", which played a positive role in awakening the African nation.
After World War II, Pan-Africanism and Pan-African Movement developed rapidly. 1945 10 Africans initiated, organized and led the Fifth Pan-African Parliament. The "Letter to Colonial People" passed by Congress pointed out that all colonial people have the right to control their own destiny, to be liberated from the political and economic control of imperialism, to elect their own government and to fight for political power; And put forward the slogan "All the colonies and oppressed people in the world unite". After the Bandung Conference, the national independence movement in Africa spread from North Africa to the whole of Africa through West Africa. 1958 held the 1 conference of African independent countries and the 1 all-African people's congress in Accra, Ghana, which marked the close combination of pan-africanism and realistic political struggle and became the movement of African people for African independence and unity.
With the increase of independent countries in Africa, Pan-Africanism spread more and more widely in African independent countries, gradually forming Casablanca Group, Monrovia Group and Sheila Chawell Group, and finally uniting. 1963 the establishment of the organization of African national unity has promoted the national awakening of the African people and the development of the cause of unity and anti-imperialism. The 6th Pan-African Congress was held in June 1974. Modern Pan-Africanism advocates that all African people unite and completely eliminate foreign rule and colonial rule; Carry forward the culture of African people and make contributions to human progress; Completely transform African society from economic, social and political aspects.
