The Pan-African Congress was a series of seven meetings held between 1900 and 1945 that aimed to address issues facing people of African descent worldwide and promote unity among people of African descent. The congresses were organized by prominent Pan-Africanists such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Henry Sylvester Williams, and George Padmore.

The first Pan-African Congress was held in London in 1900 and was attended by over 30 delegates from Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Subsequent congresses were held in Paris (1919), London (1921), New York City (1923), London, Brussels, and Paris (1927), London (1945), and Manchester (1945).

The Pan-African Congresses advocated for the rights and liberation of people of African descent, called for an end to colonialism and imperialism in Africa, and demanded racial equality and civil rights for people of African descent worldwide. The congresses also served as a platform for networking, sharing ideas, and building solidarity among activists and intellectuals from the African diaspora.

The Pan-African Congresses were instrumental in laying the groundwork for the later African independence movements and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. They also helped to foster a sense of global African identity and solidarity among people of African descent around the world.
