Pan-Africanist Leaders

Pan-Africanism is a massively popular ideology centered on the unity of Africans, whether they are Africans from Africa, Africans from the diaspora, or African Americans. According to sahistory.org, it is the belief that Africans of African descent have common interests and should be unified.
