Pan-Africanism

범아프리카주의

An ideological and political movement seeking solidarity and unity among the peoples of the African continent and the global African diaspora. Emerging from the First Pan-African Conference in London (1900), it developed through W.E.B. Du Bois's series of Pan-African Congresses (1919–1927) and the pivotal Fifth Congress in Manchester (1945) into a decolonization agenda, later systematized as the theoretical foundation of African independence movements by Kwame Nkrumah and George Padmore. It was institutionalized in the Organisation of African Unity (OAU, 1963) and continues today as a continent-wide political project through the African Union (AU, 2002).
