Concept of African Unity
Advertisements
Solution
- The concept of African unity was first put forward by H. S. Williams. He formed an organisation while in London, called as ‘African Association’ (later called as Pan-African Association).
- He organised its first conference in 1900. W.E.B. Du Bois, an American sociologist of African origin was present at this conference.
- In 1919, the second conference of African leaders and thinkers was held at Paris, known as the ‘Pan-African Congress’.
- Thereafter, W.E.B. Du Bois and his associates called a series of Pan-African Congress at various places. This resulted in the idea of Pan-African unity taking deep roots in Africa.
- The 5th Pan-African Congress was held at Manchester in 1945 by people of African origin living in Manchester.
