PAN-AFRICANISM

Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. The working class members of the African diaspora have long been victim to exploitation by foreign powers and corrupt leaders. In these unprecedented times, marginalized communities must realize the immense power they have to challenge injustice and transform their own lives through international, pan-African unity.
