Pan-African Congress – Towardchange
Pan-Africanism is the attempt to create a sense of brotherhood and collaboration among all people of African descent whether they lived inside or outside of Africa.
The Pan-African Congress gained the reputation as a peace maker for decolonization in Africa and in the West Indies.
The Pan-African Congress made significant advance for the Pan-African cause. One of the group’s major demands was to end colonial rule and racial discrimination. It stood against imperialism and it demanded human rights and equality of economic opportunity. The manifesto given by the Pan-African Congress included the political and economic demands of the Congress for a new world context of international cooperation.
The Pan-African Congress was a series of eight meetings, held in 1919 in Paris (1st Pan-African Congress), 1921 in London, Brussels and Paris (2nd Pan-African Congress), 1923 in London (3rd Pan-African Congress), 1927 in New York City (4th Pan-African Congress), 1945 in Manchester (5th Pan-African Congress), 1974 in Dar es Salaam (6th Pan-African Congress), 1994 in Kampala (7th Pan-African Congress), and 2014 in Johannesburg (8th Pan-African Congress) that were intended to address the issues facing Africa as a result of European colonization of most of the continent.
ARA – Anti-Racist Alliance helped nobody
Doreen Lawrence later wrote that “the various groups that had taken an interest in Stephen’s death were tearing each other apart and were in danger of destroying our campaign, which we wanted to keep focused and dignified”.
Doreen and Neville Lawrence wrote to both the ANL and the ARA to demand that they “stop using Stephen’s name”
