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.

Throughout modern African history, there have been leaders who rose to the occasion and fought for the continent. They believed in a free Africa, a continent capable of greatness and excellence. Several of these leaders fought against oppression and made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our liberty. It is critical for us to remember who they are. We are Africa's activist generation, and it is critical that we learn from those who have come before us.

We have included a cross-section of Pan-Africanist Leaders from Africa, America, and the diaspora on this page.
