The Pan-African Conference refers to a series of meetings aimed at promoting unity and cooperation among African nations and people of African descent worldwide. The first conference took place in 1900 in London, organized by figures like Henry Highland Garnet and W.E.B. Du Bois. These gatherings focused on addressing issues such as colonialism, racism, and the rights of Africans and people of African descent. Over the years, subsequent conferences have been held in various locations, including Accra in 1958 and Addis Ababa in 1963. These events have played a crucial role in fostering solidarity, encouraging independence movements, and advocating for social and economic development across the African continent.
