The Pan-African Congress was a series of meetings and conferences organized by various Black leaders and activists with the goal of uniting people of African descent worldwide in their struggle against colonialism, imperialism, and racial discrimination. The first Pan-African Congress was held in London in 1900 and was convened by civil rights activist Henry Sylvester Williams.

Subsequent Pan-African Congresses were held in different locations over the years, bringing together a diverse group of African and diaspora leaders, intellectuals, and activists. One of the most famous Pan-African Congresses was the Fifth Pan-African Congress held in Manchester, England in 1945, which was attended by prominent figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Kwame Nkrumah, George Padmore, and Amy Ashwood Garvey.

These congresses played a crucial role in shaping the Pan-African movement and promoting solidarity among people of African descent worldwide. They also helped lay the foundation for the eventual decolonization of Africa and the global fight against racism and discrimination. The Pan-African Congresses were instrumental in raising awareness about the struggles faced by Black people and advocating for their rights and liberation.
